I totally hesitate using this...anything thats main purpose is to gunkup something to stop a leak.
Am I being to careful here? Or do you guys agree?
The only leak I know of is from the weaping oil cooler lines, but I figured if people have used oil leak stoppers from a bottle, and never had a problem, I'd drop the $5-$10 on IT, instead of $40-$60 for each oil line.

If it's not bad just leave it alone.
If it is too bad to ignore. Do it right. Replace the line, You only have to replace the set that is leaking. DON'T PUT THAT SHIT IN YOUR ENGINE!
Get the lines from http://www.rockauto.com
The lines from the filter to the radiator are $20 and the ones going from the filter to the engine are $33

Yip, NEVER put in engine stop leak, it will clog up things that are meant to have oil running through them.
Is the oil leak very bad?
Put a rag under where it leaks and go for a drive. If there is no drops there after a 20-30mile drive, just leave it alone.
They all sweat oil and the amount is about a teasponn every 3000 miles or so.
