> It is leaking oil bad enough to add several quarts between changes. 

Only a facetious one - I'm having a bad day :
how about a full-time hanging-under-the-car
hospital-stretcher-type sling of ?plastic?foil? 
underneath the entire bottom - to catch all
the drips whether driving or parked - drooping
enough to funnel the leaks into an attached
container so you could recycle it - since all 
that oil is also dropping on the highway and 
wherever the car is parked away from home 
so oil pollution is being spread far and wide ? 
That might work into a niche-market product .... ?

For leaks you need to change the seals. It sounds like you are doing what
needs to be done <shrug>. 200k+ is a good run.... it's just a matter of time.
