oil leak question

Tow vehicle has an oil leak bbc 454.If we use a thicker grade oil will that slow it down or just make a big mess ?

 

No , when it gets warm it'll still piss out, best to fix it and forget it

 

Depending on where the leak is, I have had good luck with a product called Tri-Seal (don't know the maker). I get it at my local NAPA for about $8 a can. Pour it in crankcase and drive and the leaks really do stop or slow down considerably. JW

 

Justice Brothers automotive chemicals make a good stop leak, if there is still a seal or gasket to swell up.

Oil Leak Control

I would normally find that I did not have good vacuum to the crankcase.

When I fix that, oil leak went away.

Thanks, K
