Default Stop Oil leak products

Has anyone found a good stop oil leak product or are they all a waste of money?

They all work the same way.........they swell your gaskets & seals. These fixes are NOT permanent. Your leaks indicate that these parts should be changed, besides, I'd never put any of these "fixes" in any of my cars. That's my opinion.

I agree with Alan, also. Stop leak products treat the symptoms, not the cause. That is bad medicine.
Get to the source of the leak and fix that.

Cool

Not only bad medicine. You're worse off anyways. The OEM Manuf. blends oil/gas/grease ect. to do what they want to accomplish. By changing chemical balances, you don't have any idea what you've now done.

Perfect Example from Bob
