Scotty Kilmer can I use this on my intake manifold leak??
Scotty Kilmer I
Were you Airborn Scotty?
hey, Scotty can I use that with the oil in the engine since it burns oil?
Hi Scotty can you use this for camshaft seal oil leak. Thanks
Scotty Kilmer - I bought this stuff because of you - I had a decent leak from my rear main seal in my 1988 Ford F150. It would drip the whole time you were driving. I put this stuff in early this morning - drove my truck to the landfill, and when i got back - IT DIDN'T LEAK A DROP. I wiped the bottom of the bellhousing off before I left, and when i got home - it was bone dry. I really wasn't expecting it to work completely, I was just hoping that it would slow the leak down a bit so my oil use wasn't so bad. But this stuff works and I 100% will recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much for sharing this secret. There is no way i would have ever trusted the snake oil stuff that is sold at Autozone, etc.. When you did a video about it, I knew it had to be good. THANKS AGAIN!
How did it get on mate did it come back let me know
I poured some in a drink i made for my wife. Worked like a charm, her mouth no longer leaks useless dribble. Thanks Scotty.👍😁
I thought you were going to say something nasty... dirty bedroom joke
Lol
Hahahaha 😂🥃 cheers!
Do she still dribble lol
Did you drive your wife for 5 hours to find it's working?
I like how I never skip the intro, I constantly watch his videos one after the other and find myself watching them from beginning and end, full of great advice and easy and straight forward! Thanks man you've really helped me and my car 😅 keep up the great work!!

Hi Scotty--I can't thank you enough for this video. This ACTUALLY WORKED with my 69 Ford F250 transmission fluid leak. I thought this would be a real longshot, but after a few days of driving around, I noticed there were no spots on the pavement under the truck. You saved me hundreds of dollars with this. Months later--still no drips.Thank you again--love your videos!
And is it still running good with no leaks whatsoever?
@@ssrodz3158 This was 7 years ago! hopefully its not leaking to this day!
Legend has it this F250 still roams the Appalachian Mountains with over 470k miles and hasn't spilled a single drop of transmission fluid since the day its owner watched Scotty's video
@@Come2Chicago 😂😂😂
@@Come2Chicago god my girlfriend was gifted a dodge Dakota with 375,000 miles and it ran good for a month then the cheap battery went out and then the coolant caps gas caps and coolant resivore* cap, as soon as we fixed those the radiator exit tubeexploded first time we idled, fixed the old clamp and old tube there and filled her up with 2 jugs of coolant fired up and ran for another week great, then I get a weird feeling and look underneath to catch 1 drop of oil drip. Crawl underneath and definitely seems to be a very very slow drip from the front main, gonna try this out hope it works
Thank you, thank you, thank you Scotty. I have 2003 S-10 ZR2 that had leaky rear main seal. Just enough to be irritating but knew it would eventually get worse. Couple years ago tried a product made by Rislone with no improvement. Saw this video of yours while looking for fix for a different problem and took a chance. Amazon got it to me in 3 days. Put it in the engine that had fairly fresh oil and after three days and around 100 miles of driving, NO MORE LEAK. Put the skid plates back on a week ago and checked the top side of them today and still dry as a bone. Saved me around $1000 I guesstimate. AWESOME! You are the MAN!
Still holding?
@@starkeymorgan4142 Needs another treatment. These things don't ever just go away.
when brakes leak fluid, you must replace the leaking part. No sealer works on brake fluid
They do specifically say this stuff is NOT for brakes! 😬
@@lashlarue7924 Yes
@@lashlarue7924 hes making sure bc Scotty knows ppl are stupid
Hey, one never knows what shape the seals are in. Considering the immense cost of taking engines apart to replace seals, 10 bucks is a pretty small gamble in the scheme of things.
It worked for me!!!! 2003 Lexus es300, crank or cam shaft seal was leaking behind timing chain cover. IT STOPPED IT!!!
did u have to readd later ?
Buddy answer. You're leaving suspense here!
Well, the man looks crazy but boy does he have good advice.
It's a 101 thing..we all seem crazy.
I know this was a year ago but "Crazy" Nah dude, This guy is fucking awesome. Scotty Kilmer should bolt your mouth shut!
1:33 cool close up
I agree!!

This stuff is amazing. Had a oil leak from rear main seal that would leave a 4inch spot overnight. I tried using that Lucas oil stop stuff and it did no good. So I poured in a bottle of ATP AT-205 when I changed the oil. It took a week of driving but the leak is gone! Also had a squeaking issue from worn bushings in my rear control arms. Bought another bottle of this stuff and put in spray bottle and sprayed it on all the bushings. Again it took about a week of driving but the squeaking is gone. This stuff is the bomb.
Did you put this in the oil or in the transmission fluid?
I see this is four years ago. How is the long term results. I have a car with a leak and wondering if there’s any bad side effects. Thanks.
ou81218, I would try it until it fails. It might not fail, but I would try it to save time and money. I just put Bars Leak in my radiator, and it REALLY STOPED my head gasket leak. I will keep that stuff in my rig just incase I get a leak in my other car. It could save your engine!
Stefan Lehmiller yo grettings, sorry for being kinda late but did u put this liquid in the engine of your car?
@@ou81218did you ever find out if there are bad side effects? I just tried to buy some at O’Reillys and the clerk talked me out of it, with horror stories of messing up the engine.
yes, parking for long periods will often cause dry seals and make em leak
This sealer helped reduce power steering leak from weekly refill to every 3 months needing little refill. Got an 1996 Honda Accord.
how many hours did you have to drive the jack around?
haha
LOL 1 Mr. Kilmer then recheck for leaking.
That a good one lol
Do you have to keep it jacked up or laying down for the drive time?
🤣🤣🤣😃
@ the cap being on the bottle during the demo. he said near the end "this transmission seal has already stopped leaking and its only been an hour". considering the video was not an hour long it was most likely done like a cooking video. He first put the AT-205 resealer (note its not a stop leak but an actual resealer) then began the recording with the necessary steps (left the cap on to prevent adding more) just to demo the steps then like a cooking video cut to the end result. trying this on my firebird small rear seal leak!
ya dont fuckin say
LOL.. Maybe..
@Wolvesgaze hey thanks........ thanks for that bitch!
Are you some sort of wizard???
Wow, thanks Scotty. ATP sealer fixed the valve stem seal on my old Toyota 2.2 5S-FE...
Didn't have high expectation... but it worked!
No more puff of smoke on morning startup!
it often will stop such a leak, but be sure the oil is clean, if not , change it first.
I used this after watching this video and it does indeed work! Thank's
sounds good
PFPTHEGREATEST machine muscles. you wouldn't say this in front my mom or my wife. your reply is weak 😁
His reply could use some AT-205
He used it on his wifes thats why hes asking since he dont make her leak anything but sancho make it rain lmao
worked for my oil pan leak too
to be honest my car was leaking and i didn't have time to replace the top and bottom engine seals, i bought some stop leak thinking it could buy me some time but it's actually stopped all the leaks. i was blown away how good it works. not saying it won't need replacing in the future but for now they are gone.
ga
adma
+clif bartram i replaced the valves cover seal in my car last week, took me just 4 dollars and 1/2 hour...
Maxpredator engines Tech I have replaced my top and bottom seals now both as hard as rocks along with the spark plug rubbers. As soon as i used regular oil without the stop leak it was actually worse then before i used it. It will buyouts time though. I put off the top seal due to removing all the paint and polishing the aluminium cover. Took me a day to do it but looks mint.
So all in all it's a pretty bad idea using it?
Anyone know if this is bad for the engine?
Thanks! Tried it in my 40 year old 2 ton Sears floor jack and it didn't work after purging many times so I put the jack away. 3 months later was about to disassemble the jack to check the seals, but decided to try it 1 more time and it did work. Held the front of my Toyota Tacoma up for several minutes before I placed it on jack stands and jack. Thanks again saved me time and money.
This fixed the power steering leak in my toyota previa i was quoted $1400 to repair, not sure about putting it in my oil yet but wow! Thanks Scotty!
you can't use it on brake systems, but you can use it hydraulic power steering systems. It does not mix with brake fluid so you can't use it in those systems
it works great on oil SEAL leaks, but does nothing to oil GASKET leaks. So it depends what's leaking
What about valve seals?
Man this is now vintage Scotty. Hard to believe! ❤️❤️❤️
The ATP-205 re-seal completed stopped a slow oil leak on my sons 2007 G6 3.5L. Totally worth it. Thanks Scotty.
Thank you Scotty for your advise in using the at-205 re-seal, I have a 2007 pontiac g6 for 3 months my oil seal was leaking I didn't know what to do until I saw your video and thought I should give it a try, so I drove it around for three hours when I came home & looked under my car to see any oil & I was so excited thank you for your advice & Aloha
Scotty, I just found your channel, and I am so glad. I plan on watching every single one of your videos. Thank you so much for the videos. I can't speak for anyone else, but it means alot to me.
it only works on oil seals, not gaskets, so if it's a leaking oil seal, try it
I had a coolant leak at the manifold gasket of my GMC truck and mechanic quoted me about $1200 to change the gasket. I researched and but Bar's Stop Leak tablets in the radiator and come to find out GM did that at the factory!
Just had a leaking valve cover gasket in my van and garage said 'you need to fix this now for $1100". I tried the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak and Valvoline high mileage oil and my gaskets swelled back up and I haven't lost any oil. Sometimes snake oil is good stuff.

Is Bars Stop Leak good for oil pan gasket leaks
@@thelancecompany1657 I used Blue Devil Oil Stop leak for an oil loss, had a manifold gasket leaking on my old Town and Country that was losing a quart a month. Changed to high mileage oil and that product and it swelled the seals enough to stop the leak. You may have a damaged or rusted oil pan - who knows. You can certainly try it, a 20 dollar gamble.
Before they did the valve covers it was smoking and stinking. That's all good now for the past year. Car not smoking from exhaust and compression test normal they said. No water in the oil. It runs great fun a 2002 montero limited with close to 200k on it. Put the stuff in anyway. What the hell. Told my kid check the oil frequently and drive it until it starts smoking or running bad. Thanks for all your help, your great and so are your vdos!!!
sent my car to Toyota service center for a full service, did not notice that they have used engine flush, afterward the engine started to drip engine oil. Luckily been following Scotty Kilmer's channel here, subsequently bought and used this AT-205, few days passed and not a single drip, many thanks to Scotty and AT-205.
I took Scotty advice and it WORKS!! I also told all the shops around town and now they carry it as well.
heck, i'd try it, pulling an engine to replace a rear main seal is No fun
I put the ATP-205 Re-Seal in my Mom's used 1982 Ford Granada, with a 3.3 Liter, inline 6.. after a CLEAN oil change.. I 'worked' for a few hours, and after a good 5+ hour run, it was leaking!! It appears, the rear main seal was in bad shape. Problem..... I don't have the $3,500 or more money to have the engine properly rebuilt! The engine, had rolled over several times, as I remember it was rolling 0000000 (It's a Ford with no extra 0) about 10 to 12 times.. The engine was built in Canada.. So, the maple syrup is now long gone. I took a chance, thought it was fixed, but, I need prayer support, and some kind soul to spot me a loan or 'grant' of $3,500 dollars.. I know a Certified Auto Repair shop in Gatesville, TX that will do the job, yet if I have to get a shop/repair credit card at 30% interest, then I guess that will work. My 1990 Buick LeSabre Limited is at the shop, waiting for a total remanufacture of the Speedometer Console Instrument at approx/ballpark, $650+ dollars!
this stuff worked on my 2011 Subaru Impreza my engine a had loss of oil between oil changes it was getting worse and worse I took it to my subaru dealer they said I had a head gasket leak that was going to cost me 3000.00 dollars to fix after I put at 205 in no more leak. thank you scotty.
I WAS SKEPTICAL AT SEEING THIS. THAN I TOOK A CHANCE ONE 8 OZ BOTTLE AND WHILE I WAS WARMING UP THE CAR LIKE MAGIC THE SMOKE STOPPED. THIS PRODUCT IS REAL !
THIS IS NOT B.S. IT WORKS ALL THE TIME. TRY IT .
Scotty Kilmer Thank you, engine oil leak stopped! Cadillac CTS 3.6 v6 with 160,xxx
it can help, just pour 4 ounces of the stuff in the reservoir when it's low.
Leaking shaft seal on suspension hydraulic pump, 2007 mercedes benz sl550. Leak stopped after 3 hours of driving.$1,900 part new. I'm satisfied for sure.
Hi Scotty, I follow your RUclips channel a while ago, I am mechanical weekend, I entertain myself fixing my car, a Honda Accord 1990 manufactured in USA, I am from Chile, the Honda are not rare in this corner of the world. I followed several of your tips and information, of which I can say they are very accurate and real. Buy the liquid to seal, I followed the directions on how to remove the oil lost to the liquid polymer, you recommend in this video. I had an oil leak by the seal of the distribution, follow package instructions, must add that the loss was not small, 1 hour after the loss was reduced almost completely. According to the instructions are some days they stay all sealed. Best of all is that I save a lot of money and time, You know how long and complicated it is this repair.
So I can only thank for this and other tips, thank you very much.
Greetings from Santiago de Chile.

Scotty isn't kidding. Before I gave up my Pontiac with a 3.1 the rear main seal started to leak. So I poured a half bottle or so in it and it stopped leaking within a day. Great stuff. I keep a bottle around to rejuvinate my rubber stripping and other seals too
Did you pour it in and let it run? Or did you drive around after you poured it in?
and how long did it last will it stop the leak for years or just a lil while because thats what most do
Thank you for your videos! I have a 2004 Ford Taurus that has 245,000 miles. It has been serviced faithfully and is beginning to have some mild engine oil leaks. I will definitely give the AT-205 Re-Seal a go! Thank you again Scotty.
Did you ever try the at-205? How did it work?
2003 ford taurus 174000 miles how did it work on your car
gotta take the cap off the bottle
gotta clean that funnel first
yeah that was cruddy, I have so many funnels I think I use a fresh new all the time or it seems.
RealDarkFilm it's cheaper if you keep it in the bottle
RealDarkFilm seriously. The funnel was filthy and the Cap wasn’t off the bottle. Snake oil 🤪
I wouldnt chance taking the cap off. Scotty didn't do it.
your neighbors must just love you with all this reving outside their houses
Lol😂
Had a hard time finding locally. Bought on Amazon and it worked great. No leak after two days. Thank you

Just used it on a 96 tacoma was leaking like a sive. Kept looking under it and bout 5 hours later of driving( couple days) it really did work. V6 tacoma so tight you couldn't even find the leak an it drove me CRAZY. Thanks Scotty you saved my sanity. Got two mo leakers hope it does the same for them.
You right! Hard to find but worth the computer search of auto parts stores and the drive across town. Rear main seal leak fixed! Revin up!
I have a 06 Dodge diesel with possibly a rear main seal leak,are there any possible ill effects using this product,just want to be sure I don't cause any other problems..thanks in advance,awesome vids I can really tell your passionate at what you do and it's great!
+Frank Delvecchio no, just do it AFTER changing the oil, cause you want clean oil in the system so it can work best
even if i don't have a leak, i feel like i wanna use this just to rejuvenate my seals and prevent future ones
I wondered if that would be a good idea myself. My car doesn't leak, but it has 169k. I wonder if you'd have to keep using it though.
Did it work? Thx 🙂
Thanks Scotty a I have 2010 SS Camaro with only 4435 miles I bought in 2016. The reason for low miles is that I live in New York and car is the stays in Florida. I took it to it to a Chevy dealership and they told me that two sealers were leaking. They put in a dye to see we’re the was coming from. Anyway they told me that it needs two seals the main one and the rear one too. They want $2189 to fix it. The parts only cost 25.98 & 27.90. After seen this video I’m going to try AT-205. I hope just it works! Thx. Wish me luck!
Did it work?
Followed Scotty Kilmer's advice, using AT 205 [Advance Auto] to control a rear differential outer seal leak throwing oil all over the wheel. W-22 Workhorse motor coach 15 years old. Two bottles added to differential and the leak stopped within 300 miles, to get the coach back for replacement of all seals during brake job. Thanks Scotty
Thank you scotty Fantastic product
I love this channel!
my 05 explorer v6 is leaking oil from the valve covers. any good sealant?
Scotty, I love you. Fixed front crankshaft seal leak in my Fiat Coupé Turbo 1995 in a couple of hours. Thank you.
Thanks Scotty - I have spent a fortune with my mechanic. They still haven't identified where the leak is. Trying to solution their way out of a problem. (This is why humans struggle at to avoid evolutionary setbacks.). Anyway thanks for your video. This appears to be the best option without coughing out more money for no gain. Regards. Dave - NZ
Would you recommend this as preventative maintenance for an engine over 150,000 before the leaks start?
I would. If youre adding it to engine oil, id change the oil first. But thats my opinion
I'm leaking small amount of oil, can I put this in where the oil goes?
silentshadow458 me too did u had any luckk
Scotty i was wondering if this product can stop valve cover gasket leaks?
valve cover gasket is easy to get to. 1/2 hr and you're done. 10 bucks for a new one on e-bay. just replace that one.
You’re assuming everyone has your engine. Some valve covers are buried under AC lines and intakes. It’s not always that easy.
4 bangers its easy as can be...6s and 8s can be harder...my front one?easy as can be...back one?had to take the intake off to get to it(did the plugs and wires while I was at it)which meant new intake gasket as well.
Some are more of a pia then others.
Thanks Scotty. I have a Ford Duratec DOHC V-6 that has a valve cover gasket leak and 2 spark plug wells have a little oil in them on bank 2. It's a real job to replace these value cover gaskets. The car is 16 years old and has 225k miles on it. Cosmetically it's in perfect shape though and even with the leaks still runs great. I'm gonna give this stuff a try.
Well.......I took Scotty's advice on this subject. Scenario: After driving all day in my 2000 Corolla, I park it in the carport; 1 hour later there is a good sized transmission fluid leak on the driveway. I bought some AT-205 Re-seal (ATP). Then (with a measure of skepticism) poured it into the transmission. I drove the car around for a couple of hours in the 108 degree Arizona heat. And sure enough, the leak stopped cold. Additionally, although the leak initially looked bad, after checking the dipstick with the engine running, it turned out that the fluid level was still healthy. Unquestionably, this stuff does work and works well!!!
Would this work for the rear main seal in a '01 S10 pickup, I wonder?
I'm thinking of trying this for my 2001 tacoma which has a leak in the rear main seal. Any success with yours?
@@nicktesta8291 I know this is 8 months ago but if you still have the issue, I used it on a 2005 Tacoma and it fixed the front transmission seal!
So after i pour it inside the engine do i have to flush and renew the oil?
No just drive
I jave a rear main seal leak (oil oan gasket) reported in the 150K service of my ford taurus 2001. Should I add this AT 205 to my engine oik or transmission oil?
I saw a video where they added it to the engine oil and it worked. Could always do both
He so young in this video. He had remade this video a dozen times since then. This means he really believes in it.
I'm definitely going to use this til I have time to properly drop my pan and get to that seal. You're a life saver!
Scotty you son of a gun. you always save the day. I ought to buy you a six pack one day.
Hey man u r really amazing
Mr Scotty would you put this in engine oil ???
I’m wondering the same. Anyone try this in the engine?
ou81218 well im asking the same question, it looks like it can be used to stop engine oil leaks “stop oil leaks in engine, transmission, power steering fluid etc” im between this and the Lucas one
@@overknight5278 The Lucas Oil doesn't work I put it in and it started leaking more than before niw Im wondering if I can use this after I've used the Lucas
I spent allday yesterday under the car literally replacing the driveshaft seal on the gearbox! Oh well at least it done now I suppose…. Next time I’m straight to Scottys channel first😂
I've used it twice in a last-ditch effort and it worked once. Guess it just depends on the nature of the seal damage. Worth a try if your car isn't worth all the labor and time to tear apart.
Your way too calm in this video Scotty. Im used to you yelling in all your videos!!!
Sadly I try it in my Mazda and afrer a week still is leaking 😔, I just brought new main seal and converter seal
Jose Garcia if it is small leak it will work but it’s it a big one it won’t .....
Yeah difference between a leak and a hole :)
Well I know what to use the next time I have a nose bleed
Scotty I was looking at how to repair a Jack and an oil seal and you just answered both in a few minutes thanks!
This stuff fixed a rear main seal leak ive had for nearly 3 years thanks so much :)
Having that problem. Did you put it with the transmission oil or engine oil? Also, did you do a flush after the problem was gone? thanks. I don't want any clogging issues :L
i put it into the engine, i haven't done a flush yet, since i changed the oil the day before i put this product in.
Would this work for a oil pan gasket leak ?
Crack Knuckles no, only seals. try form-a-gasket, i explained in a newer, recent reply
Matt Taylor what is form a gasket?
a gasket in liquid-ish form
Old cars tend to have gaskets that got brittle with heat and age. Some of the newer stuff has decent silicone gaskets that actually last. Sadly most old pan gaskets just need replacing which isn’t hard. You can try tightening them up slightly but it likely as not won’t work or leak more.
Sometimes form a gasket can plug up a leak but it’s rare. Some thing just need new period. If you do use that stuff on a new gasket use sparingly only where they say to and make sure the pan and engine mating surfaces are clean. Use too much of that wondergoo form gasket and let a drop squeeze inside it can get free and will get stuck someplace and think engine heart attack. Good stuff but no replacement for new on those sort of gaskets. Permatex is more of an additional sealant, use with care.
If you’re trying to fix a rough or rust pitted casting try YAMMABOND sealer. The price will bring you to tears but it will do what regular Permatex just won’t touch. Truly amazing stuff.
if it is a rubber gasket, not a cork gasket it should work.
Has anyone noticed the the bottle cap was still on when he upsided the bottle into the funnel
Jake Smyth ur a detective
It called artistic license
Jake Smyth good catch man
Jake Smyth He was probably demonstrating calm down lol
It was for demostration fool
1:34 what she sees lol
Ethan Martin 😂😂😂
Scotty i put some in my 2011 F150 for a leaking gasket on my coolant jug. Looks like it shut down the leak. Great stuff.
Just watching Scotty I got over my mid life crisis. This guy should be on Mt. Rushmore.
Good ,but a cleaner funnel would be better..Cheers..
You're fucking shot
They are wanting to charge me over 500$ to fix seal in my son's car..so was wondering if we should give this a try..oil is getting on belt and making it slip off?
A bottle costs $8. Just try it, ofcourse you have to know what oil hole to fill it in. But it probably will seal it.
Thank U
Fulixzer a-hole
i love you 💘
your the Greatest, Scotty, i hope and pray you stay healthy and leave to 120 years
I used it on my harbor freight jack and it worked as well
I'm not knocking ya!! But I rather just change the seal!!
For the people who cant work on their own cars and dont have the cash to pay a mechanic this is a good option.
I have used the cost-effect AT-205 myself, in three vehicles - recently - with no expectations - and it works!
Time will tell for how long; when it does let-go, I can go back in and do the rear-main or front-tranny seal - and do a clutch at the same time; (I used it in the crankcase as well as the manual gearbox of each car); for now, it is saving me a lot of grief and holding up really well with nary a drip.
Thanks for the video! I will be trying this in my el cheapo motorcycle lift table with a slight leak in the hydraulic cylinder.
So how did it go? I was thinking about using it for the leak on my log splitter.
Thank you Scotty! Stopped oil leak in my 1994 Subaru Loyale.
Scotty Kilmer is The Human Bobblehead!
Yessss!!!
This fix my transmission leak. I save money and time with this product. Thank you sr.
this guy is super helpful but man what's with the added special effects haha feels like I'm watching a local news channel. keep up the good work. I still like your channel.
It worked on my 1961 Desoto transmission it had been sitting for years and the seals shrink at 205 reseal stopped the leak.
Scotty's vids make the Interwebs fun for me.
one thing that causes seals to leak is overfilling ! it's better to be a little low then too full !
At-205 works great! Fixed a leaking power steering hose leak.

It WORKED.... Thanks Scotty. (2008 Rav4 4WD 6Cyl)
Since this stuff costs about $32 for 8 ounces what happens when you change oil at 3K ? Would you have to buy more sealer ?
You're one of the better shadetree mechanics on RUclips
Thanks for responding and the clarity about old seals blowing out. I feel better about having already putting it in the engine oil. :)
