RMS leak stopped

[2591tdj]

Have had a rear main seal leak for a number of years. Was quoted $800 a few years ago to repair. The mechanic and the oil change place both suggested doing nothing until the leak got much worse and required frequent additions of oil.

Scotty Kilmer was touting AT-205 leak stop so I thought, “What the heck. It’s worth a shot.” Ordered off Amazon for about $20 for 8 oz and added it to the crankcase. Surprisingly, the leak has stopped! I hope it lasts.

I never would use leakstop. What stops a leak, close a wanted orifice. and i don't like Scotty Kilmer, i heard very often, very wrong stuff from him. I remember for example, that he said once: Don't buy a gmt800, these cars a shit.
So he should drink his leak stop himself, closing his nasty filthy mouth.
I'm done.

Thank you for posting the resolution to your issue.

Please -- don't hold back! Tell us how you really feel! You shouldn't candy coat things like that!

He actually has a video or two that talk about the greatness of the GMT800 platform as well. Take advice with a grain of salt and all that..

I hope you make out ok. I tried this stuff and it worked great for about a week and now I am blowing out a minimum of a 1/2 - 3/4 quarts a week. Totally regret even using it. 3 times worse than it was now. Please keep us updated.

On the flip side, you always know the oil flowing through your engine is fresh... (That's what I kept telling myself when my daughter's RMS began seeping/leaking).

Yeah I'm not worried about it with the mileage it has, just hate the stink.

I call that: extended corrosion protection...

That’s encouraging! I sure hope I don’t have the same experience.
