shepard stop leak
#12
I got some at O'Reilly's (west coast thing?). Came out to $23.XX with tax. I added it to the crankcase during my oil change last week. I've got numerous leaks including the front seal so we'll see how it goes. I've been buried at work due to the snow storm, so I haven't had a chance to crawl underneath to see if it's had any effect.

That little 8oz bottle is running $16 in Houston. I wonder if it is actually enough for a D2? It says it treats 4 to 6 quarts of oil. Mine had several leaks points, some of which may have been attributed to loose valve cover bolts. I tightened the covers then used the 8oz stop leak a day or so later. Thought all leaks were cured but I do still have one very slow one at the front of the engine. It results in 1 small drop of the pavement each time I park.
I actually had bought 2 bottles so I'm going to try another one the next time I need to drive somewhere that will take an hour or more.

First of all, they make 8 different products.
I have used their oil stop leak in both my t/case and rear diff with great no more leak results. I have used theit p/s stop leak over a year ago and as long as it is not a hose leak it will stop leaks in the p/s pump as well as the gear box. They make a great rear main sealer that I have seen used with pretty good results. I have not used either of their a/s stop leaks and tell everybody to not use the Blue Devils coolant stop leak, it is a terrible product.

I've never considered a sealant before, but having had no business for near 9 months and using my D2 as my daily driver (looking for a cheap, more efficient daily solution) has limited my options. I need to lead a Scout trip to the Sierra in 2.5 weeks and was considering the sealant as a short-term stop gap. However, the seepage is so light - no oil drips on my driveway and no noticeable drop in oil level - I will just keep an eye on it and hope for a safe trip there and back.
Thanks,
