As far as I know all those product work by swelling up the material the seals are made off.

And that would be all seals that have contact with the oil/Ad mix.

So I'd get the box out.

Might be there's scoring that no amount of snake oil can fix.

tbh, i would just put a mat or suchlike on the drive where the car drips.

If it is just the odd spot now and again, it would be cheaper and less hassle to jetwash the drive every couple of months in the summer.

Small leaks like that can go on for years and not get worse: I had an Escort II for 3 years that leaked from one of the driveshaft seals on the gearbox and the quantity of oil drops never changed, so I eventually just ignored it.

First off, as a general rule, I don't like bodges.

Wife's Panda has a slight leak from the rear crankshaft oil seal. ....

Man have I got the bodge for you......(NOT)...,.,apparently, people put brake fluid in their oil.

I THINK the theory is that brake fluid agglomerates some components in the oil into globules which then plug the leak. There can be a similar reaction with coolant contamination from a head gasket leak, but that may be more likely to cause oil failure.

I'd think this'd only be appropriate as a last gasp experiment with a terminal / disposable car, which isn't your situation.
