Hi everyone,
Is it advisable to use Lucas engine oil leak stop for minor leakage?
Thanks,

Just use a higher oil weight instead to reduce leaks. You can use that stuff in the power steering but never in the engine.

Already using 0W40. Don't know of any heavier oil. The additive I was referring to is for engine oil not power steering. Please see the image below. Thanks

Yes I know but using that Lucas stuff is generally "ok" ,not recommended ,for the power steering system. However you shouldn't use engine leak stop's in the engine, you will encounter issues. Just keep topping up the oil instead.
