Rear Main Seal - Fix

Post by L60Boerne »

IGreetings Patrollees Worldwide,

I'm sure I am the only one with this problem but on the bright side I may well retire from my investment in the Nissan Patrol. I have found they produce oil! Just look under one! W TX has nothing on me and no matter I much I spend they will not stop giving!

However, I have found that a $17 can of Blue Devil will stop a rear main seal Vs removing the motor.

I will miss the never ending drip from from Santa's Sleigh but I have others.

L60 Boerne. I assume you mean "Blue Devil Oil Stop Leak 237ml" It cost $70 in Oz!

I might try it.
Not sure if I will get there.

A friend of mine recently used their head gasket sealer. And it worked! Not my preference, but just in case.

Plateaucal, they make a small can that actually says rear main seal on it. It is $17.00. However, the canI saw on Youtube was the bigger can. Still learning the ways of the Blue Devil. Off to the 06 Ranch in the morning in Santa's Sleigh.

L60Boerne,

Are you still satisfied with Blue Devil for a rear main seal leak?
Thanks,
