Hi,
At the moment my mini is due an oil change and its got one oil leak from somewhere around the timing case that i will fix, but probably after the muster.
Has anyone had any experience with the engine sealant that you pour in with the oil and it clogs the holes?
Does it have any negative effects on the running of the engine?
Cheers,
Joe

I'm sure it'll seal up holes. Think about all the holes inside the engine you don't want to seal up.

Quick fix stuff like this is always bad news.

How could it possibly work? It is a scam in a bottle.
