CHEAPEST OIL LEAK FIX THAT WORKS

[@hydroponicscustomize]

You save me a lift. following the viewing of this video. I started working on my Ford Transit mk7. I used the same method, however I used Permatex ultra grey on the timing chain cover and oil pan. Functions like a magic. Engine runs for five to ten minutes. NOT A SINGLE LEAK. I appreciate you putting this video online.

[@JoJanDiezel]

What about now? I'm interested into the same method for the oil pan, but don't know if it will work at all, and seeing you have used this method for the pan, I'm interested to see if it worked for you in long term.

As a house leak specialist, I apply the silicone a nice bead right across. Then with a light finger I don’t push through the silicone to touch the roof surface and move in little circles as you move along. It leaves it a couple mm thick and will seal better

This is absolutely the right assessment suited to the oil leak crime. Unless there's a $1000 need, when you can fix it for $10? Great job, 100% transparency in doing the right thing, ignore those keyboard trolls who say otherwise.

[@stevest1300]

I run 20 year old and older trucks. If I have a seep like that, first thing to do is to snug the bolts a touch. That often fixes it. If not, just spray a bit of degreaser on it every couple of months and hose it off. It gives you a chance to check everything underneath at the same time.

[@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.

[@troopey7822]

[@johannjohann6523]

I wish the Dodgy Brothers repair shop was close to my home. Most repair shops would have taken apart the transfer case so to charge the customer $1,000 in labor fixing the leak that way. Sure it may be the "proper" way. But also being creative and using a bit of common sense can go along way as well. So does having a good moral spirit. Treating your customers right means they will come back for repeat business. So many repair shops don't think that way. Take care and thanks for the video!

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.

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. Many people asking which product where to buy - if you don't listen then just look at the comments.

[@cowsongs]

When fluid comes out between the cases like this (between engine and transmission, or between transmission and transfer case), it's because there is a leaking seal inside. There should not be any fluid inside those housings. Even if you manage to seal up the case joint, all that will do is let the inside of the case fill up with fluid from the leaking seal. And even worse, it will mask the leak for a long time, possible allowing the transfer case or tranny to run low.

I just fixed a leak. It was not on an engine mind you but a leak just the same. My daughter's furnce stopped working and needed a new circulator. In pulling out the old one I noticed the four bolts and nuts holding it in were not very tight. The furnace was a tight fit in the room and a bit tough getting the old pump out as I had to pry it out and then pry the new one in. I cleaned up the bolts and nuts and made sure they were tighter than I found them. After turning the water back on there were no leaks at the pump. It was a tough go at this point so my daughter said we should take a break and have a bit of lunch. We put a pan under the pump so we could see if it leaked while at lunch. Mrs Murphy visited us and there was a leak but on inspection it wasn't from the pump that was just installed. Turns out that by tightening up the circulator the way it should be cause a leak at the manifold and heater box. My daughter wanted me to just try and tighten up the two bolts but I wasn't sure that would work so I wanted to try what you did in this video but my leak was a bit more of a leak. What I did was to loosen the bolts and then push plumbers putty along the crack between manifold and heater. I then tightened it up and we wait a bit to see if it leaked and Mother Murphy left the building, no leaks at that point we turned on the water so there would be pressure in the system and again waited a bit and it was fixed. To tell you the truth I thought of the fix as a hail Mary and if it had not worked for us I would have been a little leery of your fix. Live and learn. Good video. Happy Motoring.

Thank you for taking the time to show us how you did this. Just what I was looking for to halt some leaks I am dealing with.

[@europeinvasion3057]

it will not fix the leak just hidde it.

[@sneakysquid1529]

Thank you so much. I've been reading about this method as I did a motor rebuild and ig my rtv job was a little sloppy. Don't wanna pull the motor again but wanted to make sure this would work.

[@c431inf]

Awesome vid , My slow leak is just my under coating for the winter 😂 comes from the factory that way

[@martinholden5570]

I am looking at the rear off the transfer case, it has been off before by the look of the gasket silicon oozing out around the edges, if that has been off before for something then it looks to me that there some evil things going on inside the transfer case?????? It could well be a never ending source of issues unless it is stripped down and fixed properly??????

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Just a tiny weep at the seal. Not worth fixing yet

[@ALASKASCHOICEMUSICVIDEOS]

is there any other way to put this on instead of with your finger just for it to look better in appearance instead of smearing it on there? great video thank you

[@essy184]

Just tried this all the way in Trinidad 🇹🇹. Hoping it works.

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

1:49 That orange germetic on the left. Is that original Toyota? Or that trans has been already opened?

[@kevinjones3900]

Pin hole in sump repaired by chewing gum and bitumen spray did not have to drain oil out as the oil won't come through the chewing gum unlike sealer.

Going out to shed to try on my old Fergie...thanks...

[@redshift8302]

Steelstik also is a good option, going to go for that myself.

[@tedthornton7791]

Hmmm, interesting. Provided you have good access to be able to clean the area and apply the silicone. Might just have to try this on a leak i have. Hope i have as good access as you did. Thanks Buddy

[@danp6125]

what product was he using ??

[@fredstah714]

At times re-torquing nuts and bolts is always good too.

[@harwoods11]

I would be wondering just where the oil is actually coming from to be able to leak from this joint. Should the joint need to be sealed? If you seal this joint will the leak build up and leak elsewhere? Could this cause a a catastrophic failure?

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Keep watching videos and you’ll know all about it

[@peterk4134]

Methinks the engine should be quite hot before apply the sealant. Let the engine cool. Then the gasket bolts should be tightened to a very slightly higher torque

[@anthonycarlini7669]

Did the same to my np203 case on my Chevy k5 blazer on a certain section that was seeping out and so far it’s still holding up okay. Haven’t seen anything new from what I last saw.

[@DooDicky]

Still is?

[@kreesenrayappan840]

Seams like a rear main seal leak, this method stops the leak being visible but the oil is still filling up in the transfer case. Best thing is to replace that seal.

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Not worth all the work to replace that seal for five mill of oil per 12 months just hiding the sweat for now wouldn’t even call it a leak We’re not really into selling everything we can and fixing things that don’t need to be fixed if you know what I mean if it ever gets worse will fix it but we’ve never had to fix one because they’re not actually a leak

[@kreesenrayappan840]

@@Fourby4Diesel I guess so in this case since the leak isn't too bad.

[@paulcarter2907]

DID YOU CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF THE BOLTS FIRST? THEY MAY BE JUST A BIT LOOSE

[@The_journeyy]

Thanks for making this video have you got a link for the products you used to seal up the leak thanks

[@sirusthevirus6879]

You can clean the area with cleaner sensor map/maf spray, after 15 min you put with that way the "supra black " 450* temperature and that's it

[@MrMilly72]

Was there a follow up video and did it work.

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Of corse it worked for what it is planned to do More vids coming

[@MrMilly72]

@@Fourby4Diesel cool thanks for the reply 👍
