Hi Kirk,
Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 is an excellent oil. Basically, it's super-highly-refined dino ("dino"saur) oil. It's slightly cheaper than Mobil 1 5W-40, but I wouldn't trust it at the intervals I run M1 5W-40 (1 yr/10k mi). It's a Group III product, so it is not considered "real" synthetic in the oil industry & cannot be labeled as "fully synthetic" in Europe. Mobil 1 5W-40 is a Group IV product & meets both oil industry & European acceptance as "true" synthetic. (Group III was relabeled as "synthetic" here in North America after a court ruling, where a non-chemical engineer judge said it was allowed.)
For your engine leak situation, I VERY highly recommend a product called Auto-Rx (link below). I've used this product with outstanding success in my '99 9³SE turbo (engine application), '90 C900 16v n/a (engine, transmission, p/s applications), & '85 C900 8v n/a (engine, transmission, p/s applications). It's somewhat expensive, but well worth it considering the mess & frustration oil leaks cause.
