I am not going to spend any money in a mechanical repair to stop the oil leak in my car engine. What is the best product out there to stop the leak? Any recommendations on how to use it...Please provide specific name of product and if possible were i can obtain it....

Wished you have said exactly where the leak was. How much do you loose. Is your driveway showing oil after the car's been sitting a while? Wish we could help because there are a few unorthodox tricks, such 12 oz. of transmission stop leak or Lucas hydraulic oil with stop leak. A cup full of this stuff should stop everything but a "peeing" main seal. Is your oil pan rusted at the bottom as most old Fords do? Buy a new pan and have it installed or install new main seals at this time. Good luck.

Oil leaks usually occur from a bad seal. Additives will only swell the seals, not repair them. The best product is a new seal.

I would agree with a miraculous product called FELPRO.
First, get some engine foamy brite foam spray....clean the area up, run the engine and find the leak....it may be easier and cheaper to fix than you think.
cheers

advance sells a good product called bars leaks ...but no matter what u use the leak will eventually get worse and it will cost more to replace your car or engine than to get the leak fixed now.

then your car is going to keep leaking. It doesnt pay to be a Jew it will cost you more in the long run if u end up blowing up the engine. However I heard Mrs. Buttersworth works pretty good.

I would have to say the name would be FEL-PRO. It is called a gasket sometimes a seal. It is the only way to fix a leaky engine properly. by the way what kind is it so I don't accidently run into it and want to purchase it from you.

Get some permagasket dry off the area and goop it up....you will need to do this every time it falls off until you get it repaired. Probably after you spend the 200 bucks on permagasket...

There is no such a thing as a mechanic in a can.
