How Can I Stop My Car From Leaking Oil?

#driveyourlife

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?

Oil Leaking from car

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.

    I have 2002 GMC Envoy 4 WD with leaking front differential at the drivers side drive axle inner shaft seal. It uses 75-90 synthetic gear lube. What is the recommended Blue Devil product to stop/slow the leaking?

    • BlueDevil Pro on August 26, 2013 at 4:14 pm

      The correct product to use would be the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak. Keep in mind, you will need to add about 1 ounce of product per quart of capacity.

      Feel free to contact us with any questions.

        I have a 2007 Yukon denali I have a oil leak will your product work on my oil leak and can I add it without doing an immediate oil change and also can I add the needed oil that’s low after I add your product my Truck is a bit low on oil due to the oil leak can your product be added to my engine without doing a oil change then add the oil needed to replace levels to normal? Thank you!!

        • BlueDevil Pro on January 31, 2017 at 8:47 am

          Germaine-

          Thank you for asking about your Yukon Denali. Based on your description, we do recommend using the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak http://store.gobdp.com/oil-stop-leak-49499/. Unless you are due for an oil change within the next 300 miles or so, you would be fine to add the product to your existing oil, and the product can stay in the system for the life of the oil. You should expect to see results after about 100-200 miles of driving.

          Thank you!

            I have a 05 Suzuki and it’s not leaking oil bad but I smell burnt oil when I drive it and the thing is no mechanic wants to fix my car because it has a sideways motor so where the oil is leaking it’s also Deteriorating my motor mounts but the smoke is coming from my hood. Will your product work on my car and will I have to replace the motor mounts?



          • BlueDevil Pro on March 1, 2021 at 9:31 am

      I can tell you how you can clean the oil spot, easy. Just put laundry detergent overy the spot and leave it there. The detergent will ansorb the oil and the rain will do the rest.

          The BlueDevil Power Steering Stop Leak is intended for leaks that are seeping or lightly dripping from the system. If you are losing fluid too quickly, you would be losing the product just as quickly, and wouldn’t really be able to keep it in the system long enough in order to get the benefit of using it.

    My 2005 Sierra has an oil leak at the end of the line to the radiator. Will it stop that leak and will it do any harm- some stop leak products cause internal engine issues?

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 8, 2015 at 10:21 am

      Shane-

      The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is specifically designed to stop oil loss coming from rubber seals/gaskets. Unfortunately, it is not made to stop the type of leak you are currently experiencing. The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is 100% safe for all engines and will not cause any harm to any components. However, it would not be appropriate to use in your Sierra.

      Thank You!

    Hello I have a 1997 c1500 v6 engine and had the main and rear seal replaced a little over a year ago, I notice some drips from around the area of the main seal recently. Should I take it back to mechanic or do I use your product? I doubt there is any warranty after a year on their work and don’t want to plunge close to another grand fixing it. Thanks

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 21, 2015 at 9:53 am

      Brad-

      First, you could check with the mechanic to see if any warranty is still in effect. Otherwise, we recommend adding a bottle of the BlueDevil Rear Main Sealer to help stop the leak. Once the product is added you should notice results after about 100 miles of driving.

      Thank You!

    Does Blue Devil thicken the engine oil?

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 15, 2015 at 8:29 am

      Debbie-

      The BluDevil Oil Stop Leak does not thicken or harden at any time. The BlueDevil specifically affects the rubber seals and gaskets by slightly expanding, rejuvenating, and reconditioning the seals.

      Thank You!

The Oil Stop Leak is actually a universal application, so it would work on your oil pan gasket, valve cover seal, rear main seal, etc. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

          The 100 miles does not have to be driven all in one day. It can be multiple trips over a few days; just keep in mind if you do not drive a whole lot it may be a few days before you start to notice results.

    Hi. I have a 87 Chrysler Lebaron. It is leaking oil but im not sure where from. I got the valve cover gasket replaced but its still leaking (the gasket was shot so it needed replaced.) It might be a cracked pan i’m not sure. Would this product work on my car and would it stop the leak? And how much would I need to use to fix this? I really don’t want another garage bill with no solution.

    • BlueDevil Pro on October 16, 2015 at 9:22 am

      The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is a universal application and would treat leaks coming from the oil pan gasket, valve cover seal, rear main seal, etc. As long as you are not losing oil too quickly, the product would be able to help seal the leak in your Chrysler Lebaron. One 8oz bottle would treat 4-6 quarts of oil.

    • BlueDevil Pro on March 1, 2016 at 9:36 am

      Chris-

      Thank you for asking about your GMC Envoy. The Oil Stop Leak is a universal application and would treat leaks coming from the oil pan gasket, valve cover seal, rear main seal, etc. Once the product creates a seal, it is a permanent seal. It is intended for leaks that are seeping or lightly dripping from the system. Typically, you would start to see results after about 100-200 miles of driving. You would add the recommended amount of the product to your oil, and then top it off with oil as needed.

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.

    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

    • BlueDevil Pro on January 2, 2019 at 9:20 am

      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.

The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is more concentrated and is the universal application that will work for various leaks such as oil pan leaks, rear main leaks, valve cover gasket leaks, etc.

    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.

      Thank you!

    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.

    • BlueDevil Pro on February 3, 2021 at 8:20 am

      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?

    • BlueDevil Pro on March 15, 2021 at 3:56 pm

      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,
    Jr

      Junior-

      Thank you for asking about your Austin Mini. You would be able to use the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak as a preventative measure/maintenance. The product does not harden or thicken in any way, so it is 100% safe to use.

      Thank you!

    I have a 2012 Dodge Ram with a minor oil leak. It doesn’t always leak but when it does it’s a small area.

    • BlueDevil Pro on November 10, 2021 at 8:33 am

      Cory-

      Thank you for asking about your Dodge Ram. Based on your description, we recommend using the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak. The product works by revitalizing/reconditioning rubber seals/gaskets. You should expect to start seeing results after 100-200 miles of driving.

      Thank you!

    I just had an oil change on 12.3.21 and was told I have a small oil leak in a 1993 Lincoln Towncar.(burning oil) will your product work on it?

    • BlueDevil Pro on December 6, 2021 at 8:52 am

      Terry-

      Thank you for asking about your Lincoln Town Car. Yes, the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak would work on the type of leak you’ve described. You should start noticing improvement after 100-200 miles of driving.

      Thank you!

      Thank you for asking about your Subaru Outback. BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is intended for leaks that are seeping or lightly dripping. As long as you are not losing oil too quickly, you would be a good candidate for the product. Expect to start seeing results after 100-200 miles of driving.

      Thank you!

    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?

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 5, 2022 at 12:02 pm

      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!
