I used this version of the product in a different application. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d92jaLFy0amoYWw.html It might be even better than the spray.

This is not necessarily a recommended usage of our products. But we're glad it worked for as long as you needed it to! 💪

It did get me by for a few days until a more suitable and permanent fix could be achieved!

you need to drain the oil first then clean it with brake cleaner then aply flex seal

@TSGEnt 3 жыл бұрын

I love your suggestion. The trans fluid did eat away at the Flex Seal over time. Fortunately, it held long enough until I got a new pan and bolt and all is repaired.

I would have used tire bead sealer.... coat the bolt with that or lock tite

@@leadnsteel1428 My transmission doesn't have a pan and is leaking. I have been cleaning it on and off with brake cleaner, dishwashing detergent, and other cleaners. At some point I just need to put dye in the transmission and engine and see if I can do anything about either leak.

why not use silacan gasket sealant.

@martinrascon1350 2 ай бұрын

Using a High Temperature rubber Gasket ring on the bolt and then use the Red RTV sealant and then spray it with flex seal

Careful. It won't last long with only a topical application. After a couple days the trans fluid weakened the rubber adhesion. As a temp fix only.

Looks just like rubberized undercoating, probably very similar. I had the same problem w/ my engine oil drain plug on my 2006 VW Jetta w/ the 1.9L tdi turbo diesel 4cyL. Drain plug just kept turning, so I just hit it on either side w/ a flat chisel & it came right out. I band aid fixed for about 3 oil changes w/ high temp rtv sealer & 2 rubber washers w/ the regular steel washer in between. It worked okay for a while, but finally fixed it right w/ a S.O./Single Oversize plug from O'Reiley's. It's a 14mm X 1.5, almost the same size as the most common spark plug thread(14mm X 1.25). It worked great, was about .017" oversized & was nice & tight. I still used a good amount of teflon tape & rtv sealer. The dang pan is aluminum I think,(or Junk pot metal) if it was steel, it wouldn't have happened, or at least been easier to fix. They also make D.O./Double Oversize plugs for threads that are Rrrrrrreally screwed up. Thanks for sharing. - take care

Brilliant! I just love hearing about ways to get things fixed! Wack it off with a chisel! Why didn't I think of that? Learn something new every day! Yes it is a bit like rubber undercoating. It was a tempo fix too and did fine until I got a new pan. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@TSGEnt I didn't word that quite right, I put the flat chisel between the drain plug hex head & the washer/pan. After hitting it on both sides 180 degrees apart, it pulled the plug outwards, the threads engaged & it came out like it would/should usually.

Never use synthetic on older model cars only Conventional oil to avoid leaks

Omg lol you plastered that crap right over the drain bolt why didn’t you just replace the crush washer that’s between drain bolt and pan that supposed to be replaced when it starts leaking?

@TSGEnt 3 жыл бұрын

Crush washer. Hmm. Didn't have one at the moment. Also the treads were stripped. Needed a new pan or re-thread the old one. Had FlexSeal so I went with that. Worked! For about a week and got in the new pan and gasket. It's all better now!
