The 7-mm J = 1→0, υ = 1 and υ = 2 SiO maser emission from the Mira variable R Leo has been closely sampled in time near the summer 1981 optical maximum in order to observe possible phase-dependent effects. A significant broadening of both υ = 1 and υ = 2 emission, accompanied by profile changes, was observed between phases 0.95 and 0.98. If these changes are attributed to the expected passage of the shock front, the line formation region can be inferred to be very close to the photosphere of the star, and the radial extent of the line formation region may be crudely estimated.
