well that sounds better, however the leaks have gotten worse and now after a night the spots are about the size of softballs. is it probably too far gone for white shepherd?

well

the question is are you willng to spend $13 to give it a shot and try?

All you have to lose is $13 but it's up to you. If it works, great. If it doesn't, you can get your $13 back from white shepherd if you want. As for me, I gave it a go, it didn't work but I tried and didn't bother trying to get back my $13

For my 2 buddies, it's the best $13 they spent

Get underneath the car and clean it so you can see. If it's still the rear main, you can change your oil and try the treatment one more time. If it at least slows down the leak you have bought some time but will ultimately need to replace the rear seal. If it stopped, then that's awesome.

Another satisfied user of White Shepherd. The stuff works much better than Lucas or the other "name brands"


They also have it for the transmission but you should change the tranny fluid first and then use it. It's good preventive maintenance for high mile, non-leaking vehicles.

i figure ill get under and clean it up anyways just to get all the oil off. but yeah i think the leak may be completely gone now. but yeah i just got my tranny fluid flushed and changed a few weeks ago so i might use the one they have for that like you said for the prevention. thanks again, ill definitely be recommending it to anyone else with leaks.
