Re: rear main snake oil
I haven't ever had any luck with any snake oil mechanic-in-a-can potions either. Decided years ago that if something needs fixing then I have to make a choice if it's worth the work/$$/pain.
I know your pain

Re: rear main snake oil
I used a leak sealer for my PS pump and that worked perfect. It was a Lucas product.

Re: rear main snake oil
I would check on the lucas products. I know the transmission and power steering products work if the seal is not damaged, but just old and dried out.

Re: rear main snake oil
They swell seals, but keep in mind that if your diagnosis is incorrect, they will RUIN a good seal....ask me how i know.
