dump that oil stop leak stuff in the engine. I did that for 2 years with my old truck until a old lady on the highway totaled the truck. Well after that all the oil, plus tranny fluid was all over the road.Is there any way to stop a small oil leak without going to a mechanic?
Sure, fix the leak yourself.
