193000 miles. Original engine and trans, rear diff has been replaced. (carrier bearings where whining...) I have replaced the valve seals, valve cover gaskets, and that is it for the oil system. I do not burn any oil between changes.

so if you never find the source of the leak you will just let it drip forever and make a mess of the car?

no clue.
Car has over 150 on it, but it's got a different speedo for abour a year, and I never cared to take note of the mileage, engine was replaced at some point before I owned it.
My old 87 IROC has around 220K on it, and still running stronger than ever. I only put new rear main, oil pan and valve cover gaskets on it, which stopped pretty much all the leaks
