Smile Re: rear seal

I've read that "stop leak" products do not work on rope seals. I'm sure there are experts on this forum to confirm.
Also read that if your engine leaks while setting (clean off pan first) then it more then likely is the rear main seal.
Again, start with a clean pan and run or drive the car for a while. If it leaks during operation, it's probably pan gasket - I'm sure it could be both but one is a lot cheaper than the other.
