Answer 3

You need to provide more information, type of car and engine.  Exactly where the oil is coming out on the car, not where it is dripping, but the point it is emitted from the engine. Understand that it is usually moved by air flow on the engine before it drips.  If it is a major mechanical problem such as a blown gasket or hole worn in the oil pan no additive will work.  You might check the pcv as i once had one plug up and without crankcase ventilation this can force oil out. Fixing the pcv with a new clean one was cheap and fixed the problem.  I would not recommend any additives to fix the problem until you diagnose the problem.  If when diaganosis deems the car not worth repairing then an additive may slow the oil loss down, depends on the reason for leak.  In short answer... no, additives usually are a waste of time.

Answer 4

If it is in the engine, the oil seal needs replacement and it has to be done in the garage.If it is from the bottom chamber nut, you will require only a washer to add in the nut below the chamber from where you drain out oil.

Answer 5

A gasket..........
