naw, just the mouse milk you pour into the oil. i had a leaky rear
main seal on a volvo a while back, wasn't up to digging my way down to
it; the parts guy (mom n pop store, not poop boys) looks it up in a
catalog, says yep it might be susceptible, sells me a bottle of the
stuff. don't remember which brand. did a pretty good job stopping the
leak.

doesn't work on the gasket inside the vtec solenoid, btw, i guess it's
probably not rubber. goes through a quart a week.
