I run Mobil 1 5W40 in my 82 240D. I have been doing so for the 5 or so years
that I've owned it. It has always had a pretty significant oil leak as
evidenced my a mess on my driveway.
The past couple of weeks the oil leak seems to have stopped! How can this
happen?

Either the sludge has sealed the leaky part or the Mobile Won has got
the seals all swelled up. Swell!

Your oil level is now down below the pan gasket?
Have you checked the oil level?

My bet is that the gravity field in his drive way has weakened, and if he
parks somewhere else, oil will resume leaking. I've observed this
phenomena before, a more typical manifestation is a mobile cancellation,
which causes the car to get 40+ mpg and a side effect is that the air blows

The last time you ordered a glow plug relay they shipped a flex capacitor
instead. But really, can a 240d even get up to 88mph?

When I was a kid the guy across the street always had IH Scouts as he
worked at the IH truck plant in town and I guess he got some break on
them. In the winter, even when it was like -20F he would go out in the
morning and start the thing, then floor it immediately, and stick his
window
Maybe they gave him vehicles to test and he tested them hard?

I would guess that the superior cleaning action plus seal additives in the
M1 did their job.
