W0W haven't seen that in ages... I used that about 20 some years ago in a Olds Cutlass, worked great, drove it another year, then sold it.

I have found that when a seal starts leaking it's just best to replace it, those products tend to gum up the internals no matter what they say. I don't mind a small leak as long as the mess in the driveway ain't too bad. These new engines leak so little everything under mine is rusty and I live in the south.

Snake oil.............The Cummins front and rear crank seals are intended to be installed and run dry.Any oil on them and they cease to function.
