How bad was your rear main seal leak? Pouring out or just weeping 'a bit'?

Hi,

Oil Stop Leak Additives do work ! Some will even stop leaks of Biblical proportions !

Besides they've got to be worth a £10 'punt' if you're otherwise looking at taking the gearbox off to relace the main Crankshaft Oil Seal !

Regards,
Hamish.
