I've done that heaps of times both for myself and clients. I was going to suggest tape to give it a clean finish but already been suggested a few times. Any oil leaks that don't leak, always a case of clean and observe. Obviously if it gets wore, fix it, but it could remain like that for years. If you took that to a dealership you'd end up with a $5k repair bill!

@@Machine-rx6wf "The right stuff" is made by Permatex. You can buy in a caulking gun tube at Napa for like $18. It is a black silicone that they say is for repairing valve cover gaskets.

I'd swear it is as strong as the glue they use to glue in windshield frames, but it can seal in wet oil environments.

If you're going to apply silicone caulking or sealant and you don't want it looking like garbage this is a trick from a window installation person or who's done windows wet your finger and then smooth the silicone it won't stick to your finger and it won't smear it up all over the place on the part that you're putting the silicone on.

[@AJ-qn6gd]

After many years of Land Rover ownership I feel qualified to comment on oil leaks, this type of leak is often a blocked breather not letting pressure build up due to heating up escape out of the breather and the pressure has to escape wherever it can often taken a bit of oil with it. I once changed a rear diff pinion oil seal twice before I worked it out. It only takes a couple of minutes to remove and check a breather and just might save you a load of time and money.

[@andreasseyffer]

Some dealerships service departments would tell the customer that we have to remove the whole transfer case.

[@cowsongs]

And they would be right, because there is a leaking seal, which is then filling up the case and letting it leak out through the joint between the cases. Patching up the joint just lets the seal keep leaking and filling up the inside of the case. This could allow the transfer case to run completely dry because all the fluid leaks out into the case area.

I disagree with this method. The real leak is still leaking. By sealing this, dirty oil and all the gunk and dirt in it will now fill the void between the "man made seal" and the Main Seal. That will mean, in the near future, all the trapped dirt will start making the real Main Seal wear out faster. I say let it leak. Use kitty litter on your driveway.

Here has a man said he did similar repair in fourty years. Most shop runner dislike it as no money earn. Does it work? Depends. As far as the leaking pressure is lower than the glue/RTV bonding force and the bonding won't lost - oil may merge to cause the bonding fail, then it works.

Great video thank you! Have you ever used this silicone gasket sealant on the oil drain plug and/or the actual thread of the oil pan where the plug goes in? I bought the Ultra Black tube. I can see the oil is slowly dripping from the oil pan plug. I bought a new plug/washer and will replace it but since I have to drain the brand new oil I figured I'd also add this silicone sealant (wait 24 hours to allpw it to dry) and then pour the new-ish oil back in. I knew there was an issue when I did the oil change and the plug wasnt going in by hand at all, had to use socket wrench to get it in. (Usually I had tighten the firsr part and then finish with a socket wrench) Didnt have a choice at the time and needed to finish the oil change so I socketted it in and next day I saw the slow drip. Pan looks in tact. I would GREATLY appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you so so very much.

I'd place tape 8mm to each side of the split, once built up pull the tape and get a nice clean line. Or, place tape crossways every 3", drive for a week, and see the acutel spot of the leak on the tape.

Good suggestion to pinpoint. Thanks 👊

[@joshhuoabski3278]

Or, clean it

[@andreiandrew9181]

Can you tell me the product name because i have transmission leaking

[@ozzesty7314]

Silicone gasket sealer fine to.

[@williammetcalf7239]

One tiny bit of an extra to this. If you wipe the seam with some 70% alcohol after cleaning it with the brake cleaner, which will remove any residue that remains, the RTV will stick on for dear life, ensuring a serious seal. Otherwise, great job!!!

[@willpage79]

Will this method work in a timing cover ..leak is coming right beneath the tensioner?

[@nathanhele2741]

You didn’t even see if the bolts were tight, and u should always scuff with emery paper for the sealer to stick properly , it’s like paint if it’s not rubbed paint de laminates and peals off, silly dodgy brother, I call that a half job!!!! Quick fix

After praying to God thanking him for healing, repairing and rejuvenating my car engine, car belts, suspension, clutch and all other areas...everything improved drastically. I had the previous owner of the car drive it and they said not only did it drive like new (it's a 19 year old car) but they noticed the engine sounded like new as well, much quieter (can barely hear it when it's on) and a stuttering noise it used to have has now completely gone. After noticing this they did the same sort of prayer for their own car and noticed the same outcome! Matthew 19:26 “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

That looks like a transfer case input shaft seal failure or trans-output shaft seal failure.

[@rickjans664]

A Good idea , Clean very well then Sanding the metal would help the RTV Grip better i would think

[@ashishg9089]

Can you confirm If this is safe?

[@sergiomz21]

I did this on a very slow leak on my e70 rear differential with grey gasket material has not leaked a drop since

[@DonneilRoss]

Will not work that’s just wasting time flywheel seal need replace
