I have a 96 camaro rs with the 3800 v6 in it and has over 200,000 miles...my question is I am leaking oil in certain places (oil pan gasket, rear main oil seal, etc) and was wondering if there is a stop leak additive I can add to it?? I plan on running the engine till it goes and I am sure with the labor of fixing the leaks, I might as well have the engine rebuilt....But the thing runs decent thats why I don't want to put too much money into it until the actual engine goes...Any suggestions?

 

IMO stop leaks are not good unless you NEED to limp it home or something. Stop leaks stops flow

 

305 is correct, stop leak isn't a good alternative to stopping a leak. I recommend just replacing the oil pan gasket and stop it for good. No point in pouring a foreign treatment in your crankcase and hoping for the best

 

you can always do like used car salesman do and put 50 weight in it. Solves all leak problems. haha

 

Is 50w safe for my engine?

 

No stay with 10w 30.

 

Yea I was joking. You put 50 weight in it, your engine will be destroyed after awhile
