    Unless you degreased and steam cleaned the motor entirely, you cannot be sure if a product works to stop leaks. That oil could have been sitting within any small area under/behind or beside your engine. I’ve worked as an advisor for dodge for many years and I’ve seen all types of oil leaks. The only way to ensure if and where an oil leak is coming from is to clean the motor and add a UV product and run vehicle for 300-500 miles. Then go under vehicle with a UV light and you will see the leak glowing. Your test tells us nothing.

    It is not leaking while running because the crank at the seal has an auger that directs the oil into the crank. Once the engine is off that action ceases, allowing the oil to seep past the worn seal.

    Well, I have a 2003 Acura TL-S with 126,000 miles. I had a small drop or two from the rear main seal. I used the same Bar's you did and it stopped the leak the next day. This was 3 weeks ago and still no leak..... I have a feeling your seal was too dried up and was leaking too much for any sealer to work. You have to use this stuff right away when the leak is small.

    This stuff reconditions seals back to size and elasticity within reason...it doesn't perform miracles which is what your seal would need

      Exactly. I like throwing in a half bottle of this on all my high mileage cars. its just good to do. If i had a crazy leak i wouldnt think this stuff would fix it.

    That's too big a leak for any product. Competent mechanics who work at home or on the side charge about $400 to change a rear seal, at a minimum and that's on a car that's easy to work on. You have to separate the engine and transmission to replace a lip seal. In the bad old days, when you had a so-called rope seal, you could drop the pan, loosen the main bearing cap and use a tool called a sneaky pete to pull a new seal through. Later, injected neoprene was another fix. With round seals there is no option but to replace the seal.
    My vehicle, an old Nissan Sentra which I bought at the end of September, developed a small seal leak in front when the weather changed. Bar's Leak seems to have stopped that, along with using a thicker oil. I changed the drive axles after I bought to car and one side developed a small axle seal leak. A product called AT-205 seems to have stopped that, but I should have changed the axle seals. The front crankshaft seal is pretty easy to change, but it is easier yet to just pour a bottle of something in there and see how it works.
    These situations are a strong argument for keeping your maintenance schedule. The people who change their oil, coolant and other fluids according to a strict schedules just do not report these problems even with hundreds of thousands of miles on their vehicles.
    My previous car was a 2001 Camry with 103/K at purchase which had been driven about 15 miles a week by an elderly driver. He had the oil changed only once every several years because it took him that long to hit the mileage mark. Every seal and gasket on the engine was bad except the pan gasket, something which should not happen in a car with that mileage even if it is 17 years old. I had fixed all of them except the rear seal when the car got wrecked. The other driver's company gave me a nice settlement. I bought the Sentra for pennies and put the rest in my piggy bank.

    Your rear main won’t leak while motor is off parked. If it is leaking that means your motor has way too much oil in it and you need to drive it for a week or two then check it. Your rear main seal is half way up the motor. The oil should not be just sitting.

  • @berniediapersanderslukso9204
    @berniediapersanderslukso9204 6 лет назад +9

    There's already oil out of the hole waiting to drop. Allow the chemical to work for at least a week and then check for leaks again. Also check the head cover gasket. My bimmer had a leak here and I thought it was coming from the main seal. Oil was routing to the main seal area. I was misled.

      Worked for me on a 2007 GM 5.3 liter. My leak produced a few drips per hour and was sealed back up after about 100 miles over the course of 2 to 3 weeks.
      This will not revive a damaged (torn/worn away) seal. The seal in this car is way too far gone to think a product like this could fix it.

      Yes. If you just put it in and not run it, it’s not going through the system to the leak. I had a leak from my oils pan after putting a new one one with a new gasket. I drive it about 50 miles and got home and let it set. No more leak.

    I think it depends in how bad the seal is. I had both seals leaking oil from my cam sensors and it stopped the leak. so far its been a week or 2 since I put it 8n and ni problems yet.
    You have to read the bottle to. Some have copper fibers and others rejuvenate your seals over time. Which is why it may matter if your seal is really bad or you put the wrong kind in the oil or whatever and it takes a lot of driving to really be effective tho I have seen some slow leaks after 1 drive cycle.

  • @himeedajew
    @himeedajew Год назад

    A) that seal is too far gone for this treatment b) that is remnant oil that has already seeped past the seal. That seems like a lot so I'd go with a. Fix the problem by replacing the seal instead of treating it.

      FartsTrading Academy You must have to changed the oils after 3,000 miles in regular oiled or 5,000 miles in the synthetic oiled.Keeping the old oils in there more than that keep adding more and more new oils with the old oiled will not lubricant your engine parts,pistons parts and engine chambers correctly.Will killed your engine prematurely like about around 100,000 miles more quicker and will make horrible engine noises while you’re driving the car too.
