Especially if the car sat for years. And although it can, and has been, changed with the engine in the car... I can't imagine it. I can tell you that my rear main leaks less now that I drive the car a bit more frequently. It seems to have been rejuvenated a bit. I have also switched to a high mileage oil which in theory helps with such things, although I have always been skeptical. Either way it leaks less than it used to.
