I seems I've noticed a small engine oil leak in the D-17 Series II only when it is idling. I see there are several "stop engine" oil leak products on the market. Should any of those ever be used in an A-C of this vintage? If so, which one? Thanks in advance!

x2.  Those stop leak liquids are only for people who don't want to get their hands dirty.

A friend of my grandpa's had a grain auger with its own engine that they couldn't get to start. They tried and tried and tried, and couldn't get anything. They poured some "Mechanic in a Bottle" (That's the real name) into the gas tank, and after letting it sit just a bit, it fired right up! Don't know what it really is, but it worked!

Be my luck instead of fixing the leak it would stop up an oil passage!
