The neighborhood I used to live in had a very strict Home Owners Association that detailed many things you could and could not do with the exterior of your home. One of the rules I should have read before signing the covenant was that you were not allowed to have any oil stains on your driveway. I never thought that small rule would be such a headache, until I realized how much oil my truck was actually leaking. As the stains grew larger and darker, my HOA began to contact me asking me to clean up the mess. As the HOA fines piled up, I tried everything I could think of to get the oil out of the concrete but it turns out that takes more than Palmolive dish soap and a sponge. After a rented steam pressure washer was unsuccessful in blasting the oil out, I took drastic measures. Let’s just say it involved gasoline, a wire brush and a lot of conversations with the fines department of our HOA.
Maybe you have had a similar experience in your driveway, or maybe you can tell which parking spot is yours at work by the shape of your oil stain, or maybe you’re just tired of seeing the oil light come on all too often. The question we all have is how we can stop that annoying oil leak!
How do I find the oil leak in my car?
Oil leaks can be difficult to track down. There are so many gaskets in your engine on the top, bottom, front and back that all have the possibility of leaking even in a properly maintained vehicle. In new cars, the engine compartment can be so full of accessories, electronics, covers, hoses and wires that you would need a flashlight, two mirrors and x-ray vision to be able to locate your oil leak. Once you’ve discovered the leak it could be incredibly difficult to change the gasket or seal from where the oil is leaking.
How do I repair a car leaking oil?
An easy and sure-fire oil leak repair, no matter where it’s coming from is to add BlueDevil Oil Leak Sealer to your engine oil. You can add BlueDevil Oil Leak Stop today and seal your oil leaks as you drive your car. In two days or less, any seeping or dripping leak will be sealed!
BlueDevil Products can be found on Amazon.com or at AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O’Reilly Auto Parts, NAPA, and other major auto parts retailers.

Thank you for asking about your Ford F-250 Diesel. As long as you are not losing oil too quickly, you would be a great candidate for the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak (https://store.gobdp.com/oil-stop-leak-49499/). One bottle will treat 4-6 quarts of oil, so you may need an additional bottle, depending on your oil capacity. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

What amount of your product do you recommend for a 2003 BMW 525i. I have replaced the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket. Now I have a leak at the oil pan gasket. About 2-3 drops per day. The engine takes 8 quarts of oil and I am using Mobil1 0-40. Next oil change going to Castrol 5w-30. Could an oil change now help with the small leak. Dealer wants $1375.00 to replace gasket.
SRW-
Thank you for asking about your BMW 525i. The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak will treat 4-6 quarts of oil, so an 8 quart system would require slightly more than one bottle. Based on your description, you would be a great candidate for the product. You should expect to see results after approximately 100-200 miles of driving.

I have just had a tune up, spark plugs, intake cleaning and oil change. Blue devil stop leak was put in my fresh oil change. They had it on a machine for 30 miles at 10 mph. I have drove 50+ miles since. I now have clear fresh oil still leaking! Do I need to drive my car for ××× miles until it is permanently sealed? Please contact me when possible. I will be going back to auto shop if I don’t hear back from your company. Thank you in advance!!! Proud owner of a 2004 Honda Accord 4DR EX

Thank you for asking about your Honda Accord. Typically with the product, it may take approximately 100-200 miles of driving for the leak(s) to completely seal. Based on your description, we’d recommend driving the vehicle for another 150 miles or so to give the product the best chance of working properly.

I had been noticing loss of about a quart of oil every two weeks in my 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 and just figured that might be normal for age and miles over 230k. Then I began to smell oil after engine warm up meaning it was leaking onto exhaust. Since this would have probably cost over 2 thousand dollars to have valve cover gaskets , valley pan and rear main seal replaced I decided to research alternatives. Blue Devil Oil Stop Leak had great reviews so I gave it a try. I could not believe what it did for my truck. I did go ahead and replace the valve cover gaskets myself because they were an easy fix. I do believe my main rear seal and oil pan were leaking also. After 2 hours of driving oil pressure is up, no smell and oil pan is dry. Unbelievable product. THANKS
Stan-
Thank you for the great feedback! We are glad to hear that the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak was able to seal the rear main seal and oil pan gasket leaks on your Chevy Silverado. Once the product seals, it would be a permanent seal, so you should be good to go at this point. We appreciate your post and sharing your experience with others.
Thank you!

I have Honda Civic Coupe 2008 model. Recently I have started to observe couple of drops of oil leak per day under my car. not sure if it is engine oil or power steering fluid. I showed it to a mechanic and he told me not to bother with repair cost and just keep on monitoring engine oil level to ensure I am not losing lot of oil. Should Blue devil product be the right fit for my car. And if yes which blue devil product would you recommend? Thanks
Udit-
Thank you for asking about your Honda Civic. Based on your description, you would be a good candidate for the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak.

I have a BMW X5 and the oil leaks from drain plug. Is this something that can be fixed with this?
Noah-
Unfortunately, the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak would not be able to seal a leaking drain plug. Replacing the drain plug would be your best option in this case.

I have 2001 Audi Allroad. Oil is leaking into my turbos and burning off as I drive creating smoke and a smell. I was suggested that it child be an engine ventilation issue. Could your oil sealant solve the leaking into the turbo?

So i have a 96 toyota Camry. And it pours about 5 quarts out a day with a solid day of driving. What do you suggest.
Lost-
Thank you for asking about your Toyota Camry. The amount of oil you are losing daily seems extreme, and could be dangerous to drive under those circumstances. We recommend bringing the vehicle to a mechanic as soon as possible to have the leaking component identified and repaired/replaced.
Thank you!

Do I have to add new Blue Devil Oil Stop Leak with everry oil change?
Thomas-
Once the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak seals, it would be a permanent seal. It is not the kind of thing that would need to be added with every oil change. You should only need to use the product once.
Thank you!

I have a 1973 Austin Mini with a completely overhauled stock 1275 motor. I’ve placed 18K miles on the new motor now and have have done periodic maintenance as necessary in the engine but just the nature of the car the smell of oil and the build up of crud/oil is still present on the chassis up front. When I park the car in my driveway or in the garage there is no real evidence of oil on the floor. Can I use this product just to see if I notice anything different after cleaning up the crud/oil on the chassis to see if it makes a difference?
CHeers,

Hi. I just got an oil change two days ago. I would like to use your product. Will I overflow the engine if I pour a bottle in now? Do I need to wait until I have lost 8 ounces of oil before there will be space for your product to fit, without overflowing the engine?
Dave-
You would be fine to add the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak to your fresh, oil change. The 8 oz. isn’t really enough to move the level.
Thank you!
