when i changed my rear main seal, i forgot about the repair sleeve and now i have a slowww leak. would it be okay to change oil weight (which weight should i go, its a high mileage motor) and ive heard lucas oil leak stop fluid works well. would that be a good (temporary alternative) until i decide to take on replacing the RMS altogether?

I think changing the oil weight will make no difference but the lucas stuff should help.
