I drove the car for 50 miles, kept rpms under 3000. Then the leak completely stopped. I then drained engine oil and poured in fresh oil. It was good like that. But for me it was a temporary fix to get all my maintenance done over winter which was all the gaskets, new covers, pullies etc. it definitely did buy me time. But hey, at my mileage, I was perhaps also willing to accept the engine crapping out. It's not a garage queen with low mileage after all. This was also used on all my rubber gaskets around the door and made wind noise go away. When I did the gaskets finally, I did have a rough time getting all the old gasket out of the covers, guess what made it soft and rubber like again for me to remove it? Small amount of at205 painted onto the gasket and the gasket pieces came right out. So, yeah for me, it worked.

Just realized you pour the stuff into the engine...  not for me sir! |
Lol. I completely understand. I wouldn't pour this into a garage queen. But I have rolled the dice on a couple of cars with success. That's all.
