Lucas stop leak ( Review) " Does it work ? " 

"We don't have the luxury of accuracy" lmfao irl

It reduced a leak on my Suburban by ~90%. Years ago I bought a Crown Vic with ~62k miles. It was whining so loud that I went to the nearest auto supply store for some Lucas. The reservoir was full, so I dipped out as much as I could with my finger and added maybe a tsp of Lucas. It quietened right down. It ran quiet until I sold the car with > 300k miles on it - never had to add fluid or do anything to the steering.

I've always had good results with all 'Lucas' additives. An exemplary company.

Ten years ago used it in a 1991 Camry. Didn't stop the leak but made it vary manageable.

50 years ago we just had manual steering and it got the job done! James

Lucas oil makes good products. They even recommend this on new vehicles just to maintain. It has nothing harmful no harmful solvents in it. If you have problems with your power steering you have nothing to lose by adding this product.

I can attest to fact that it worked in my 2003 Dodge 1500. I had a power steering system leak and it solved it.

I can just feel the pain and wallet screams in every sigh 🤕😂🤕 I know the feeling bud...

it works..needs time to do it... so patience grasshoppa

Mine sat for a year. I used half a 32 Oz bottle. Prior to the year of basking in the driveway. Started it up…ran it for about 10 miles idled for 20 minutes. No leak. Pinion was leaking. GMC envoy.

2002 Ford Econoline had oil loss over a year ago. Bought the big bottle and that to fill it about 4 times before the leak and noise went away. It works for me.

My wife got to work in -35 below weather, the power steering blew. ( Unfortunately we made the decision to down-size - I traded 2 1/2 car garage for a little one car shop ) As fast as I poured in the power steering fluid in, it leaked out. Being February I gave her the keys to my truck and called a few garages that wanted $670 smackers to change the power steering hose> Yeah thought that was excessive, for the stealer-ship to charge that much. - I decided to change the power steering hose myself. In May when it warmed up, I put the car on ramps and couldn't find the leak? It appeared to be dripping very slowly from the low pressure return line. I changed the low pressure return line 2007 Edge, and added some Lucas Power steering stop leak. "I never suspected the rack was the problem, and didn't really investigate properly. Over the next 2 weeks it went from silver dollar oil spot size to literally zero leakage. "However, 5-6 months later, this fall it turned -14 below zero and WHAM same shit.. the oil leaked out like a sieve " - I didn't even bother to call the stealer-ship to see how much they wanted to gouge me for to change the rack. So I threw her the keys to my 4x4 truck which she is happily driving to work and back. "MORAL OF THE STORY" - If it looks to be to good to be true, it probably is. "While I use many Lucas products all the time" When it gets freezing cold, "SHIT HAPPENS" peace out.

Dont buy Infinitys unless you got infinity money

Front seal on my PS pump started leaking 4 years ago. It appeared to be coming from the front seal. So I tried the stuff (with some trepidation). It worked. A minimal leak returned 2 wks. ago so I added a little more Lucas. The steering was stiff after that (cold weather). Steering resistance returned to about normal after a few miles driving. Leak seems to have stopped but not certain yet.

It's not just the thicker viscosity, but the chemicals that 'fatten up' the seals. But it takes a while, like a full week.

I have a leak on my rack and pinion on my Ford 500 Limited. Not too bad but adding a pint or so into my Power Steering Reservoir every 3 weeks or so. I'm hoping this stuff works. If you have tools it's not too tough a job but still a pain in the ass. I've heard good stuff about this stuff. Good luck bro.

Yes works used it on a Vauxhall zarfia A 2.0dti

Great video!!!. Don"t understand so many dislikes...

Excellent video and the overall comments.👍

Haha...that is the reason why the levels change..hot/cold. Thats why the levels on the dip stick say Cold Max and Hot Max. If they were both right above the line, then u didnt lose anything (not yet at least) and it changed accordingly cause of its contraction with cooler temps.. would take more then 2 ir 3 drops anyway to see a difference in levels..usually loses it much more while driving cause of the pressure. Great vid..thanks for sharing..was just funny about the hot/cold thing right after u had said what the dipstick said

I had a slow seepage from the input shaft on my steering rack. I had to add fluid once or twice a year. I ran this lucas stop leak in it for about 5 years. It didn't stop the leak. I finally had to replace the rack after failing inspection.

Periodically I check my fluids and I noticed my power steering it needed a little fluid. I went to AutoZone and bought that prestone power steering fluid. About 2 Days later I couldn't steer my car. I pulled over and I added some more of that prestone and it leaked right out. Call my mechanic and he told me first try Lucas power steering sealer and I did. I drained my reservoir with a turkey baster and filled it with Lucas which took 12 oz. You got to be patient and give Lucas a chance to work for to circulate through the whole system. 2 days after I added the Lucas it was about three tablespoons short from the full mark so then I added more Lucas to the full mark and a couple days later I checked it again it was down about one tablespoon added more Lucas and the next time I checked it about 2 Days later it was still at the full mark and didn't lose nothing. It took about 8 days to fix the problem. I blamed myself for adding Prestone that might have caused the problem in the first place. That's only my assumption I could be wrong for stating that. The next time anybody who's a little low on fluid buy what the car company recommends to use. I checked my fluid about once a week now for starters and it's still at the full mark. I do recommend Lucas for fixing my problem.

I had a high pressure leak on a Gm and the oil sprayed on the exhaust and the car caught on fire....be careful out there people.

It took one bottle for my 1999 dodge durango it helps with a leak it was not bad it helps with that but I stop the squeaky noise for a 3days or so it came back

yes the Lucas really does work I used it on my Lexus es300 and my transmission shifts very smoothly

You have to be patient with this stuff, and if you still have a leak now and then, still add the stuff in, you might have to go through 1 to 3 bottles. Depending on how bad it is. All it's going to do is seal any small little areas around the bushings around the seals. That's all. If you have a big leak, it's not going to do a darn thing, your just wasting your money. Also check all the fittings to the hoses, check the hoses and the lines and make sure they're tight and make sure there's no holes rust ect, sometimes you have leaks and hose connectors are not tight on the fittings. There's a lot of different factors why this stuff doesn't fix a leak. but be patient

Maybe it does renew worn rack bushings and pinion, just not in your case broken bushings.

I mean by definition, of hot Max and cold Max, the fluid level should drop when it cools down. Looks like it worked! Thanks for the great video! I have a severe leak in my 2012 Chevrolet Impala. I'm definitely gonna try this!

high pressure hose usually leak and its pretty easy to replace

This stuff doesn’t stop the noise because it doesn’t remove air from the system. Bleed the power steering system and/or remove trapped air BEFORE buying this. If the noise doesn’t go away, then it’s the pump that needs to be replaced. If the noise DOES go away, then drain the pump reserves some and refill it with this. Again, this doesn’t neutralize air. It just stops a leak.

Scotty Kilmer said that At205 reseal works pretty Good..!!Re-Seal de ATP AT-205

I understand your concern for the impeller blades but you also have to consider that the blades are still stronger than the fluid as long as it isn’t glue 😂 shouldn’t cause any issues to the pump unless the blades were previously damaged

You’re definitely not in Germany if St.Louis is only 2hrs away from you 😂

Thanks for sharing video

My gators are filling up with steering oil. I hope this works and i can get it MOT'd and passed. As i haven't got £4/500 quid to really throw at this?

I just put it in my 09 nissan maxima so far so good but mine had a small slow leak hopefully it work at first its sucked the whole thing but now its stitting at max

I'm going through the same thing , I put mine in today. 🤞

I have a 2010 FX35 and have a leak somewhere in my Power Steering, it might be a hose but i cant pin point where its coming from. its not as bad as your leak thought, i think one of the hoses has a brack on it. its not dripping like that like yours.

It's works

I will most likely buy it for a Toyota 4runner that the previous owner said the powersteering is leaking.

I would at least stick a container under the leak at night and catch the fluid and put it right back in next day....

Had a Peugeot 306 years ago with a horrible leak. I added gear oil over time to the system and over a week or so the leak went away and remained leak free for the two remaining years of ownership. Could not believe mu luck.

Had the same problem on my 07 G35 sedan 6mt. Its seems like nissan/infiniti have crappy rack and pinion seals cause my buddy's 370z had the same issue.

Could i use this for a leaking differental. I have a leak in the pinion seal

Rev up your engines

The infinity sedans and coupes truly are some of the most problematic vehicles around that age and mileage. You can dump thousands into the steering system just to find out the transmission system is on its way out also. I would never recommend to buy one of these cars used or from an auction which is typically where the used car dealers get them from.

GOOD TO KNOW

That is a real nice power wrench alright. Maybe this tool is just a luxury that you didnt really need that stretched your budget. Honestly are there many areas in this car that are accessible to work on with a very large impact wrench?

I had the same problem it was a 3 dolar 0ring and i took the empty fluid bottle back money back guaranteed if fluid don't work

Hi grass moss is excellent for all leaks. To show get some in your hands and roll it between both palms. It becomes tacky Radiators head gaskets etc and free as long as you can find it very fine moss It naturally tracks to the leak like the raw egg method but far better ok

thanks

im starting believe there is one Japanese company which sells Nissan,Honda their steering racks . Showa makes for same types of Honda . I have this leak.i honestly there is only one way to fix it . is to remove it myself and put other used one which does not leak.

So what happened after 1 week? You mentioned you are going to update and add the videos here. Thanks.

Really tho there’s so much fluid in the system once it’s mixed in with the original fluid you will be fine

The lucas worked for my camry in the summer but winter came and it all leaked out, so i used a motomaster ps fluid with extra guard for leaks, combined with that its holding up so far this winter. I just replaced a high pressure return line last summer, and its still fine, coming from around the rack area now. didnt seem to harm my pump, havent heard it act up since the first leak last summer. hope this helps out. the rack area and lines are well hidden on 03 camry, really hard to troubleshoot.

It works !!!! it dont work!!!! No need to read any more comments...

i used it and it work u need to put all of it in

Stop being melodramatic just do it if you're going to do it

just answer it works or not.

I think it stop my leak but i didn't take the remaining stop leak fluid out the reservoir i just added power steering fluid on top of it n it turned pink will damage my power steering?

Then u said u drive 182 miles then u posted u drove 28 miles I don't get that

Oh no, I just bought 1... arghh... anyway thanks for the video.

I just had some of this put in my car because my oil was leaking I sure hope it works.

So I'm curious about the long term results since there was no follow up video. Did the leak significantly slow down or even get eliminated?

Try changing your pressure plug

I see the same names making negative comments about this product on multiple video reviews. Funny thing is, the wording is exactly the same. Copy and paste for reviews? Label me suspicious

I have a real slow leak at the pump gasket. Think this would work for that?

Once in a while, i see people here on YouTUbe who just have no damn idea what they are talking about, and that's fine, but what I really cant stand is people who just spew obvious bull. These products ABSOLUTELEY do what they say. They swell hardened, shrunken seals. This is not new technology. They will not, however, fix missing o rings or cracked o-rings. I have driven over 100K miles on a Lucas fix, and the Blue Devil ( low viscosity) seems to be even better. I even used the hydraulic fluid fix on a convertible top. Late model used luxury cars are a trap. Don't buy them. The smart people with money lease them or if they buy them, they sell them when the warranty runs out. They produce repair bills MUCH bigger than new Lexus payments.

The lucas worked on my 1998 Grand Caravan. I tried Bars Leaks2...it slowed but didn't stop the leak.

It works for certain leaks ...not all

I have two bottles of one pint and it is not working, I will try one more before I give my last comment and experience.

Used it on my discovery 2 . Did not work . In fact it made things worse . I should have just changed pump as it not a big job on a discovery 2 . The steering went hard to .

It didn't work for mine might work for someone else..my leak is in the steering rack

Use 90 weight gear oil

So. What was the prognosis? Where was that leak?

Should have bought a Lexus?

you never showed what you need to do before adding? do you need to flush out first? and how much do you add with a small resevoir? im having a small leak in my 05 nissan altima and I cannot see any drizzle on resevoir hose or visible leak from opening hood.

90 mph on I90 is the Correct speed :)

FYI, the boots mentioned in this video are NOT oil seals. They are located on the ends of the rack and are dust seals only. The actual oil seals are inboard of these boots. When the seals leak the oil accumulates inthe boots and people often think that replacing the boots will fix the problem. NOT SO!!!. Also, I do not think it's a good idea to mix products like this person is doing. I am not a chemist and so am unable to determine if mixed products are compatible with each other. Just not a good idea IMHO.

My nose keeps running, will it stop it from leaking?

Same problem with my g35x.infinit s major fault.love my g35 though.

DONT'T BUY THIS SHIT! I USED IT ON MY 88 GTA. NEW PUMP, BUT SMAL LEAK ON STEERING BOX. After 5 min of low rmp i turned steering wheel and hear loud pufff... power stering was GONE!!! Pump started making weard sounds. It killed my pump! ://///

Did your car idle high due to the leak.? I have the same leak in my 05 maxima it is cranking up my idle to 1.5k rpm sometimes up to 2k rpm.

sorry. sir I tried it after watching this video. it didnot worked for my high pressure house leakage.

It looks like you've got a bigger problem than just a stop leak fluid can fix.

I guarantee ya it’s your hose clamp. Just like mines on my van

It works better on ford cars

does this reallly work i have power steering leak and cant afford to put in shop

So did it not leak as much during your trip to st louis? I have the same issue but need to drive my car to get it repaired in another city, about 100 miles.

90 mph aint that fast for usa.

8:15 vs 14:15 couldn't that drop be due to the temperature?

Mine leaks when i turn the car off. Just drips. Not loosing any thing that I can see. It is on the pinion and rack joint is where it leaks. Will this work for me? Mine is the opposite to yours. Drip when off and no drip when driving. Just have seeing red shit all over my garage. Fyi the drips after finishing are the size of a 1 dollar australian coin.

I used 2 bottles of the Lucus stop leak and 1 bottle of the bars leak stop leak neither worked only good thing I was able to get my money back on the Lucus brand.

Lucas is not $23.00 a bottle it is $9.89.

Not working for my 2008 Odyssey at all

Doesn't work I tried it

Up to two bottles they say. So one more bottle and it will stop

rams got rusty then seals get buggerd from rough ram , new rack time

Will It Work For A Rack N Pinion leak?

Didn’t work for me in my 1998 Toyota Camry
