All GM buses whether parlor jobs (over the road) or transit units, used Detroit Diesel engines since the 40s (30s?). The only exceptions were smaller, less expensive transit busses built in the 60s that offered either diesel or gasoline GMC Toro Flow 4 cycle engines. IIRC, the City of Terre Haute, IN had a fleet of these powered by V6 Toro Flow diesel engines.
Parlor jobs used 4 speed manual transmissions whereas transit busses used 2 speed hydramatic transmissions with the GM V drive. The V drive was innovated by GMC in the late 30s and is still used by most (all?) bus manufacturers to this day.
Properly maintained, Detroit Diesel engines leaked little or no oil but most did due to the lack of proper maintenance.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
