Haha, right? If only! But seriously, choosing to use a stop leak really comes down to risk assessment. Good luck planning your strategy!
I tried a popular stop leak product, and it actually reduced my transmission leak somewhat. However, I have my doubts about long-term effectiveness.
That’s interesting! I wonder how often you added it? Some say consistency is key for these products to work well.

I personally wouldn’t rely solely on stop leak products. My mechanic advised me to keep up with regular fluid maintenance to prevent leaks in the first place.
I totally agree. Preventative maintenance is crucial. I’ve avoided leaks for years by flushing my transmission fluid regularly.
Not to sound like a skeptic, but I think stop leak might be just a temporary fix. It’s definitely worth looking into professional repairs for a more permanent solution.
Has anyone experienced a significant improvement using these products over time? I’m a bit reluctant to try them again without some solid testimonials.
I have! I used it once and my leak reduced significantly for a few months. Just be patient with it.

I heard using a bit of transmission fluid with conditioner can help with minor leaks too. Has anyone tried that alternative method?
I’m intrigued! Sounds much cheaper than buying stop leak or visiting a mechanic.
