Can ARX seal a leak coming from the oil pump,cam and crankshaft seals?
I'm not sure if all are leaking,but I'm wondering if it will seal those seals.


Thanks

Jared,

I am not sure of that question I know ARX will stop leaks if you use Dino oil and seals are not damaged perhaps someone else could chime in.

I think you mean the leak may be coming from your oil pan.

I would totally clean up the engine and see where your leaks are really coming from, you could have a valve cover gasket that is leaking, and when it drips down it could look like an oil pan leak.

Anytime someone tells me they have an oil leak, I tell them too change there PCV Valve and make sure all of the PCV hoses are clear, if they are not clear or the PCV Valve is gummed up there will be too much pressure and you will have oil leaks. Too much pressure in your engine is going to push oil out of the seals.

How many miles are on this car and when was the last time you serviced the PCV System.

I would also check out the application on here for seal leaks, just go to the auto-rx homepage and click on application instructions and then click on seal leak application.

I put about 30K miles on the car and from when I got it at 71K I put it through two sludge applications of ARX and one application of oil leak seal.
It sealed the first leak and when I changed the oil today I found another leak under the passenger side of the engine.Although when I left work tonight there was no oil leak at all on the ground.The car sat for eight hours.
There doesn't seem to be evidence of the valve cover leaking and I've changed the PCV twice in the 30K that I've had the car.The second time being about 1500 miles ago.
The car runs great,no doubt thanks to ARX.
Would it be wise to start another oil leak application?

Thanks again.

When trying to stop an oil leak make sure you use a group 111 oil or group11. DO NOT ADD AUTO-RX IN OIL
AFTER AUTO-RX APPLICATION (NO MAINTENANCE DOSE) ONLY NON SYNTHETIC OIL.

Jared,

I had to go through 3 oil changes with Dino oil before my seal leak stopped if the seal has no damage the leak should stop .

The rear main seal stop leaking after one oil leak application.
This "new" leak seems to be coming from the crankshaft seal.

Simple additive package in group 111 oil will restore pliability to this seal (assuming you have Auto-Rx engine thereby cleaning seal material front & back) don't add any additive including Auto-Rx. I would drive and see if seal stops leaking.

Well the leak stopped.The car sat for about a week and no oil underneath the car.
I followed the seal leak instructions to the letter and it worked.
Thanks all for the help and Brent,I have your number stored if I have any more questions about the Mach 1.
