I have had an oil leak on my fronty since, well ever! I picked up a bottle of this the other day
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Acces ... &0&cc5_170
just wondering if any of you guys had tried it in anything you run?
As far as I can tell, it helps lubricate the seals and causes them to swell slightly
cheers

If it works mate, let me know cos our lass has noticed her jam rags disappearing, as ie got them all around my gearbox, stemming the steady flow from my rear crank seal, and when ive filled em with oil they smoke abit when on log burner!

I had a slight leak on the front crank seal when I first got my car and used Forte seal treatment and its never leaked since, that was over 7 years ago 
Stop leaks only work on very minor leaks as they rejuvenate (soften the rubbers) even valve stem seals can benefit if they are not too far gone and split or brittle.

Radweld is made up of a powdery metallic substance that finds the gaps and hardens in the cracks/gap.
This stuff is fluid and works as a chemical reaction to soften rubber.
It cant work miracles but may be worth a tenner to try
