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.

YouTubers notice the great video. No shaky head mounted camera or hand mounted camera. Great sound. No B.S. Well done sir. Thanks

Jb weld has held my transmission crack for a year. Totally worth it.

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

I've done that heaps of times both for myself and clients. I was going to suggest tape to give it a clean finish but already been suggested a few times. Any oil leaks that don't leak, always a case of clean and observe. Obviously if it gets wore, fix it, but it could remain like that for years. If you took that to a dealership you'd end up with a $5k repair bill!

Legend. Help the customer save em money. It's not always about making money gotta add value and help people. Money comes with that itself. Love Ur vids man.

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.

Why is this so comforting to watch ?
I need brake cleaner in my life

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.

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!

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.

Nothing dodgy. Customer informed, correctly identified as a slow weep, cleaned up perfectly, correct silicone, Awesome stuff)

Got myself an old 90 Series Prado, has a minor leak like this. I have to admit I thought about doing this and wondered if it would work. Quick search and boom your vid came up! Sweet easy and cheap fix. Subscribed

As an Aussie. I appreciate blokes like you that give you time and knowledge.

Up here in Canada leaks are good for the rust coating properties

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.

Did the RTV hold up and stop the leak? I couldnt find the follow up video. Thanks

I was thinking about doing this but wasn’t sure if I was right about that stuff and what to use to clean it. Good thing there are actually mechanics that care to save customers money. That in itself will actually get you more customers!

Try using AT-205. It rehydrates gaskets & rubber.
Can be used in engines, gearboxes, diffs, cooling systems & if you rub it on door seals etc it revives them.. brings them back to their softer expanded state.
I’m literally sitting in the waiting room as my car is getting pit inspection for a leaking rear main seal BMW X5 V8 & this stuff is great, plus cheaper than replacing seals & neater looking than silicone all over the place. 👍

Hey man this is a great first step.... especially if someone bought this car used and doesn't want to spend more than they probably should paid for the car.
