Default seal conditioners

Well after 20 years the front and rear seals are starting to leak. It is only a very slow drip so far with no tell tell signs on the cement yet, but however they are still leaking. Our season is so short here I want to wait till fall to tear down and replace seals so I thought a conditioner would maybe stop the leak for now. What conditioner does the forum suggest for my 1992 vette.

Rather than risking a pick & a poke by adding a random conditioning product with your existing oil I'd suggest starting by using a complete high mileage oil designed for the job.

MaxLife by Valvoline seems to be one of the more reputable products with a good reputation that I've heard of - no personal experience.

I have had luck with Lucas oil stop leak in the past,but havent had to use it (yet) with my 93. It works with any kind of oil. But like the previous post said a high quality oil will have conditioners included. Dave
