You're saying you used seafoam after you changed your oil? You are suppose to change your oil <U>after</U> you seafoam, but that is if you used it in your oil of course, or did you just add it through the vaccum hose (intake)?

Riiight..

Well if your car probably has alot many miles then I suppose carbon-build up was probably keeping your gaskets sealed and using the seafoam removed it, hence the reason why you've got leaks.

Keep an eye on your oil level between trips to make you aren't losing too much oil, because if you aren't then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Change your oil and your spark plugs.

End of story.
