I usually hate to shill for companies, but AutoRx is one that I have to
mention.  This stuff isn't your old STP, Slick50, or even Lucas.  Amazing,
it has slowed down my '91's leakage past the valve seals by half, and
stopped entirely the leaks and sticking in the power steering.  You can look
around at other forums, Acura, Jeep, etc and everybody has discovered this
stuff.  A little pricey but its entirely synthetic and not available in any
other form that I'm aware of.  I don't mind the price if a product works as
advertised.  Look on the site for the testimonials; one of our list members
is also on there, although I have't posted yet.  No affiliation, standard
disclaimer, etc etc.
