Has anyone use Barr's Leak to fix an oil leak? Bad for the engine???

I didn't know Barr's had a oil compound.  :nix:
Oil leak additives from my understanding swell the gaskets to stop oil leaks.
If that's good or bad, I can't say, never used it.
Might want to e-mail Barr's for their opinion and tell them what it will be used in.

Just saying.

I'd never use any kind of "stop leak" product.
Weep between cylinders on a VRod? Dig a little deeper, and you will prolly find it's a crankcase breather tube sealing issue, easily fixable.
