block oil leak

Nov 19, 2007 1 Replies

i have an engine block oil leak, on a 1198 pontiac sunfire 2.2 4 cyl. with around 240k miles on it.. is there an additive out there for engine oil to create a gasket to repair a leak in the block on the oil side. the only repair additives that i can find is for coolant side of engine block.



i have used the lucas oil stabilizer it seems to slow the usage but i am still having to check the oil @ least once a wk. too many miles to change the head gasket. i am not getting oil in antifreeze or vica versa. any suggestions. i am remember seeing some type of pellets to add to engine in a jc whitney catalog but i dont see it any more. i have used several other additives they seem to help a little but not as much as i would like.



no sir there isnt oil stopleak.there are oil additives like stp that thicken the oil and may slow a leak, or additives that claim to condition oil seals to slow leaks,but the only sure way is find and to repair the leak. i do know a bad pcv valve can cause pressure in the engine and leak more..
