So basically I just put this where I would put the oil and it should stop the leak? Thanks

It should if the seal or other ring is not too far gone. But never put it in the gas tank, brake system, or cooling system....

When you remove the plastic tube from the dipstick tube, hold it with paper towels. Wrap some generously around the end, then wrap two plastic shopping/garbage bags over that. That prevents any oil from whipping around and absorbs the leaks. Then place the whole thing in a heavy contractor-grade plastic bag, with more paper towels in the bottom. Toss out the bags & towels & replace next time around. That's the cleanest simplest way to use any of these things. No spills no mess, just some oily waste.

Throw it in. My car wasn't actually burning oil I just use it to prevent it.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

They say just add the fluid to top it off and eventually the leak will stop. Hope your "small" leak will stop because I had a moderate leak and went thru 3 bottles of this stuff and it did not work.

I have installed several of these in both cast aluminum and steel drain pans. There is a term called "snug" which applies. Tighten it firmly, but not too tight. The worst that will happen if it is not tight enough is a leak. Then you tighten it just a hair more. If you overtighten it, you could strip something - although not likely. The supplied washer works fine. I have never had a leak! Enjoy the valve. It makes oil changes a breeze.

If you follow the instructions and install it correctly it should stop your leak provided there's nothing else wrong with your door or seal.

Yes, it can only hold so much oil. Laws of physics and all that. Frequency of replacement depends on the leak.

No, it should not leak. Please align and distribute the gasket equally around periphery before locking and operation.

I don't know. I would get more info first. I used it and it worked. I think it softens and swells seals to stop the leak. If that is the case and your seals are just dried out it should work. Good Luck. Kent

Yes. Make sure that the compressor is running when you push the oil in and it will be much easier.

There was a leaked but my husband pushed the tank in harder and it hasn't leaked since.Make sure that the tank is all the way in. Push down on it but be gentle. A great buy saved me nearer $800

Yes, this is the oil pressure sensor you need. The sensor is located on the back of the motor, next to the firewall behind the intake. It is somewhat difficult to get to, but if you have a socket wrench with a swivel, it is not to bad to change. Can be done in about 15-20 minutes.

No. Fixing the leak is one of the things it will do. It's a very good oil treatment you can just add to your newly changed engine oil. It's most useful for preventing engine wear. It should also help quiet down the engine if the noise is not caused by some major malfunction of parts. Some like to use it on older cars. In my case of transmission leak couple years ago, I used another product from Bar's which truly fixed the leaking issue and saved me a lot of repair money.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

Look in the center of the spray adjustment wheel. There should be a screw. Try tightening it and that may stop your problems with it leaking.

doubtful. this stuff only works for a short time, then the leak will re-develop.Especially, if leak is at an increased pressure point.
