Minor oil leak
15

Asked by Joe71Velle Jan 05, 2020 at 09:23 AM about the 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Hardtop Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a minor oil leak coming from my 454. I have done a lot of reading and
they all suggest using Lucas Oil stop, Blue Devil or ATP. For every x number
of reviews I read some horror stories as well about it ruining the
transmission. I am open to guidance about this as I am a tad hesitant to use.

Thank you!

Joe

I would not use them. Fix the leak instead.
