I had an old, giant-size Walker that dated back to around 1930.  It leaked 
pretty good when I got it, so bad that every time I wanted to use it, I had to 
"fill it up" first.  I started using whatever was at hand, including some SAE40 
with a little STP in it.  Ironically, that was the last time it leaked for the 
next six years.  Unfortunately, it was just too big and I swapped it off.
