Has anyone used Bar's Leaks successfully. Is it OK to use without damaging the engine and making matters worse?
I drive my '89 Toy (3VZ) back and forth to work. Approx 35mi round trip. My truck recently went from a slow leak of about a quart per month to almost a quart per day within a 1 week period. I had never been able to locate the previous leak even after thoroughly degreasing the engine bay 3 times. Since the truck has 145k on it (I bought it at 117k) I decided to start putting new gaskets in it til I could locate the problem. Changed the valve cover gaskets (they were rock hard). Changed the oil pan gasket (actually Permatex'd). I have one gasket left from kit (main seal) but have no idea where it goes or how much work is invloved in installing it. Leak is still there and SEVERE. Drips heavily from front of engine SOMWHERE but still cant nail it down.
Any ideas Toyota gurus?
Thanks!
