So for the last couple of months my rear main seal has been leaking, nothing serious...maybe a small quarter sized oil spot after i park the car. I just recently changed the oil and noticed that afterwards the leak has gotten quite a bit bigger. I just recently went back to work after a 6 month unemployment stint (thank the lord) and having the seal fixed is my main goal.....In the meantime I was curious as to if there are any stop leak options out there that i may be unaware of....any input would be greatly appreciated

 

In my experience, once the seals start going they only get worse. Trying to use a sealing product only gums up the smaller oil journals and starts screwing up the lifters. I'd start shopping for quotes from mechanics to replace the rear main seal and the crucifixes.

 

Try a bottle of the white shepherds rear main seal leak stopper first.

 

I agree, try the White Shepherd product, it will not plug up any thing cause there is no inert material in it. Lot cheaper then replacing the seal and if you are not satisfied, you are really not any money.

 

right on, thanks for the advice guys. I will keep my fingers crossed!
