Review on Bar'S Leaks High Mileage Engine Repair, 16.9 Oz by Porfirio Newitt

Edit -- After about 1 year, Bar's Leaks stopped working. The gaskets on my Oil Pump and Valve cover had completely worn out. Cost a couple hundred dollars to replace, but the oil leak is gone. That said, getting 1 year of driving out of a bottle of this stuff still leaves me very impressed. I'd use Bar's Leaks more as a way to get you to a spot where you can get your car fixed instead of an end-all solution personally. 5 stars for 1 year of stopping an oil leak at the cost of $7.Original ReviewI can't believe this worked.I had one of those "everything went wrong" moments with my 2001 Camry. For a few days in a row I noticed a burning smell when I got out out of my car. Third day I noticed it, checked the oil level - nearly empty. I had changed the oil a couple of weeks prior so this was a bad, bad leak.Drove to a mechanic who only gave bad news. They said they saw multiple leaks on it, and that it'd be somewhere between $1500-2000 to fix. Took it to a second mechanic who said the same thing. On the way to the second mechanic, the check engine light flipped on, the burning smell was worse than ever, a brake light burnt out, and I was about ready to bite the bullet for the repairs.On a whim I bought a bottle of this stuff. For 8 bucks what the heck, why not. My engine had lost enough oil in a couple of days to add the full bottle of the engine repair. It said to drive it for 100 miles for best results so I visited a friend that evening 200 miles away (probably not my smartest moment since I was having all the car troubles but whatever). I pulled in and looked under the car - no dripping. Spent the night and the next morning checked under the car. There was a puddle maybe the size of 4 or 5 drops of oil.Since driving home from the friends (1 month ago), the oil hasn't leaked a bit. Took it to another mechanic who said everything seemed to be looking great.I'll check the oil once a week for awhile then probably longer intervals, but it seems like this stuff worked. Even if I have to add a bottle of it every so often, it's way cheaper than the quotes I received were. I was (and still am) completely dumbfounded.
