leak sealer products

PowerBlock had a review of a 2 part oil leak sealer that included a flourescent dye and a leak sealer in 1 package. I guess the dye might be of use sometimes but mostly its the sealer that would be valuable. Anyone know anything about these from personal experience..??? I know in the past most of these kind of products were junk but chemistry
is Always moving ahead and its only a matter of time before they work good..
what do you think..??

I don't know if this is relevant to what your talking about, but a year after I bought my new truck there was a bad leak between the engine and transmission right at the bell housing. I took it back to the dealer and they put a supposed die into the engine and transmission, and wouldn't you know it didn't leak for 3 years. I bet that's the stuff they used and of course thy wouldn't admit to that, but they were just postponing it until the warranty ran out probably.
