In 1990, I bought a 1962 International Scout that had been perched on barrels for 6 or 7 years waiting for someone to replace the rear diff. After the driveline repair, I used liquid wrench thru the spark plug holes, started it, and drove it for about 6 months. Ran fine, no leaks, and the frequent oil changes started coming out clean.

I then screwed up bad and used Rislone per the directions to flush the engine. Afterwards, every place that could possibly leak oil did so impressively. Not just the front & rear seals, but the pan gasket, side cover gasket, fuel pump gasket, etc. Probably because the were original and had dried out.
