[MrTom]

I have had an oil leak on my fronty since, well ever! I picked up a bottle of this the other day

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 have used similar things in most of my cars in liked the results.
just remember to check how much oil it treats

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.

That's where mines leaking from Danny.

Cheers drift
sounds like it could help then. Was worried about it blocking things up lie radweld did to my thermostat

[Drift]

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

Best get myself 6 bottles of this then

[MrTom]

haha me too good info Drift I'll be chucking my bottle in soon then
does your alarm play silly buggers on your 2.0l Danny? I was wondering if you can disable it as Its just one big pain in the

[Drift]

Tom, keep on topic mate, use the alarm immobiliser forum, you all know the rules about techi talk

Contrary to belief we do not like deleting and locking topics for this reason.

[MrTom]

ERR yeah you do!
