B oil leak

[Bobby9891]

Looks like my "B: has a rear engine seal leaking-not bad but I place cardboard under it to keep oil off my shop floor. Is there any additive I can add to help with the leak? Im not ready to break it apart ! Thanks Bobby

You could try Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer or Lucas engine oil stop leak. I have used the Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer with very good results. I have never used the engine stop leak yet.

Thanks I've never used any type sealer before . Im sure it isn't good for the engine.

I would live with it. The last time I used a sealer that was for oil it worked real good at sealing up the oil pump relief valve and that in turn caused it to blow the seal in the oil filter so ended up replacing the oil pump and all. Or in other words a $5 can of magic in a can cost me a couple hundred in repairs

Kinda figured it wouldn't be good for the engine !! Maybe I should just put more paper under it !!!

Don't bother with the stop leak. It won't work on that type of seal and often doesn't help on others.
Live with it or fix it unfortunately.
