Bit of an oil leak between the pan and the block. I tried sealing it with RTV from the outside but it still leaked a little bit. Read up about this stuff and decided to give it a try
This stuff really does stop the oil leaks. For shade tree/back yard guys: get the vehicle up on solid jack stands. Have some sheets of cardboard to lay on and catch the drips. Wear a cheap face shied, disposable gloves, long sleeve shirt and a cap or head covering. Had to use a little gasoline and rag to get some out of my hair. My old 94 Ranger leaked for many years at the oil pan gasket. I first cleaned underneath with Gunk engine cleaner and then again with carb cleaner. Then I used a toothbrush size wire brush to get it good where the gasket is and sprayed with carb cleaner again and let it dry good. I used the nozzle to get in close. I removed the starter to get that area good. The nozzle allows you to get to any tough to reach spots. I ordered two cans. One can gave me 4 good coats. I did 5 coats. It dries to an almost clear, but kind of a yellow tint. It leaked bad in many places and for many years. Not a drop so far. It stays pliable, which allows it to expand and contract, which is why I believe it will hold a long time. Promise to come back later for an update. ** I gave an update that is listed below. It lasted 2 years.
Yes. It is beginning to leak again and I see where it is coming loose in different areas. Not a permanent fix I think that after 304K miles, it was acking too much.
Going to need to try this with my Jeep. Damn timing cover is leaking. You should have used a good degreaser in the area first to get it nice and clean of oil and grease for better application and adhesion.
Not sure if it was this exact product but in the 90s I used this several times on oil pan to engine leaks. The leaks are very lite. It worked but you need to make sure you do the job right. The product seemed to work as the leaks did not return. Not for big leaks or where there is pressure.
i would have liked to see the pan immediate after use application and maybe later after a few miles in use? It seems messy but a bit of masking up and ground cover would hold that.
I use this sealer some tips shake the can for several intervals for over a minute get the can warm after that in hot water shake again then spray , when the product is watery U didnt shake enough and getting the can hot causes the fluid to set better and faster
BETTER TO APPLY WITH A WARM CAN TO A WARMed A BIT TOO SURFACE. Cold sprays to a cold place dont stick well and that is why things fail. Be on paint or sealer.
Do you have an update on this? I messed up too when i changed my VVT Cover, i didn't put RTV on the gasket and now, while its not dripping leaking, it is leaking a tiny bit.
Thanks for the video. You probably don't have to spray so much for each coat. Please provide any updates since a short-term leak stop would be pretty much useless.
@@mandoramos4229 haha, that's how it always goes. fix one, 2 more pop up. i'm just gonna try using some hondabond on the outside of the case, it should have the same sealing capabilities as this stuff anyway(also, this permatex is like 80 canadian per bottle on amazon.. and not sold locally. fuuuuuuck that)
Bonjour, thanks for showing it..quite cool ^=^ I did not know about it in France ...so will try to order it in line? Any link please? Besides, you are a charmig attractive guy😊😊
@@CtrlAltDefeatTV I saw it on ebay, but the can retails for 8-10 dollars,and the only person i saw that has it wants like 35 for 1 can. its become a 'unicorn' product for some reason.
My cummins oil pan seal is leaking pretty bad and I don’t wanna really lift the engine if I spray the were the seal is on the oil pan think it’ll work?
Possibly - that's pretty much exactly what this spray was designed for. I say go for it, not much to lose at that point. Just make sure you clean the surfaces as best you can and maybe drain some oil so it's not seeping out as you spray the sealant on.
How much pressure will this sealant hold? I have a seemingly invisible pinhole split on one of my lines running into my fuel pump. It emits a fine mist. Would this stuff work?
I think this stuff works for seeps or drips only, I don't think it'll seal pressurized leaks very well. Being that your leak is fuel I would definitely fix it properly with new line. Fuel and leaks isn't something you want to mess around with.
I don't think it would work for that. This stuff works for leaks where there isn't any movement like an oil pan gasket. Leaks that are coming from seals like in your situation are a little more difficult to stop because the seal is pressing against a moving component.
So does it work? I want to believe in it, but this seems like such a Holy Grail of car repair for old jalopies and shitboxes I'd think if it were any good it would be really well known, but it doesn't seem to be - almost never hear anything about it, which makes me think it's a useless gimmick sold to the gullible and desperate.
Hey fucker.. why aint ya answering everybodies big question there dooood..?? How long dit twerk fer? Did you hit a speed bump and it start leakin again? Or it wash off in the rain or snow? Is it like that flex seal garbage or does it have like a sturdy permatex feel to it??
