Engine oil stop leak?

[eggsarascal]

Any one ever used this stuff?

 

I've got a very small oil leak on my van, I'll be damned if I can work out where it is coming from. So I thought I would stick a can of Stop leak in it.

 

Does it work?

Put some in my land rover recently no result yet but fitter in work says it could take 500 miles to have an effect.probably being a bit optimistic,after all it is a land rover!!

I would Johny. But I only know two people with steam cleaners. One is away working until the end of the month and the other bloke has got his in bits trying to repair it. Mrs egg is getting on about the spots of oil on the drive.

Personally I would never put anything that would inhibit oil in an engine. Particularly as modern engines are working at the top end of their capacity. I would worry that this additive may cause an internal blockage in somewhere it shouldn't and cause premature wear.

Suddenly your 'cheap cure' won't look so cheap!

From my very limited research (what I have read on the web tonight) it seems to work by rejuvenating the "o" rings and gaskets. Rather than acting has an inhibitor. Unless I'm reading it wrong. Which would be nothing new!
