Aloha everyone! Has anybody uses white shepherd oil stop leak on their
engine? I have an oil leak I'm trying to figure out if it's coming from the valve
gasket cover or the rear main seal. So I put a bottle in and it looks like so far
so good, haven't see a drip yet. I'm still trying to figure out if it's working.

Is the seal right behind my oil pan and where the trans starts my rear main seal? I'm afraid to add and leak stop stuff and make it worse but the rear main seal gasket i looked at was only $11.99 so if thats what it is I would rather just go ahead and replace it along with my clutch kit. Any help??

Thanks!

Thanks for your input. Talked to a mechanic and he said its a temp fix
can mess up gasket seals but another guy said people who cant afford
the major repairs on their vehicles said another mechanic told them to
get this
