i have got the same problem and i tried Bartol (sp?) but it did nothing
but give me smoke in the mornings. any roduct out there i just a quick
fix.

Anyone use a oil additive to swell the seals in the crankcase,

and i do not believe it swells the seals, it just makes your oil
thicker so it is less prone to drip out. however the producer may claim
this.

Tom,

If this is a Honda we're talking about, whatever the year, model, or
mileage, if the leak hoses your timing belt, and your timing belt starts
jumping / removing teeth, you'll blow your engine before you can get
your foot off the gas. A cheap fix will not solve this problem, unless
somebody else around here has a quick and dirty solution, you may have
to open up the timing cover and do the fix.

Even if we knew the details, the answer is probably the same.

Its a Nissan Sentra with 140 K, decided to have it fixed @ the dealer,
$165.00.

Next time, it might be work trying Auto-RX. I have not personally used it,
but have talked with many who have. It apparently works wonders. It cleans
and conditions seals as well as the rest of the engine. And pretty
reasonably priced. (No affiliation, blah, blah, blah).
