Title: oil-leak stop
Post by: raywilb on 03 November 2011, 08:01:00

Snake Oil  ;D ;D ;D.

Best bet is to find the source and fix it properly :y,assuming you intend keeping the car for any length of time yourself ;D

Most are just " quick fixes "at the best and tend to create many underlying other issues which are much harder and costly to fix :)

Give your breather system a thorough clean, may stop the leak

All this stuff does is soften the seals a little.
It may slow it down for a while but its not a fix
