Oil leak in my son’s 2007 Pontiac G6, could I try AT-205 re-seal in it? What would you suggest.

Where is it leaking from?

You could try it. The stuff might or might not work depending on what's leaking and your luck. It will not repair a physically damaged seal. If AT-205 does work it would most likely be temporary but it could last a while. There have been reports of both success and failure with that product.

What would you suggest.  

The best and most long-lasting repair is of course to replace the leaking seal. However that is probably not cost effective for a 17-year-old G6.


Thank you, mechanic says its the oil filter housing seal/ gasket.


@chook - For something like that I'd just go ahead and replace the gasket rather than messing around with a snake-oil additive.


Could you tell me your opinion on how much something like that should cost? I live in Grand Ledge, MI. Thank you!


@ckhook - I have absolutely no idea. Your best bet would be to get estimates from local independent mechanics.

Not likely. Just replace the gasket.
