Bar's Leaks Products Any Good?
 
http://www.barsproducts.com/

For use in a '93 ES300 with 400K Kilometers on it?
Specifically for Engine, Transmission, Power Steering leaks.

Thanks,

Worked pretty good in my 95 LC's power steering.

I have heard it, but for engine and tranny would suggest, http://www.auto-rx.com

Also, check out www.bobistheoilguy.com for a lot of information on additives.

The original Bar's Leak is just ground ginger root. Good stuff that should be added as a prohylaxis on American cars like GM and Ford products - as they add and sell Bar's Leak under the AC Delco and Motorcraft label. Don't need it on a Toyota or a Lexus product, unless you love clogged radiators and heater cores.

It's not the right way to go about fixing a problem. Will it work? Maybe and temporarily.

Thats a bad temporary fix. Fix it right.

The longest I've seen it last in a radiator was 1 month. My friend had to add it every 4 weeks to his Corrado. Just replace the broken part.

In a word, NO. It does more harm than good.

Actually, no.....it's closer to 408,000 but I rounded it off. :D
The water pump has developed a minor leak recently which I am trying to hold off fixing until I get the car's third timing belt replacement done. For a 13 year old car with that many kilometers on it, it runs extremely well.

Do not ever put any stop leak products into your car!
They may stop the leak, but they will most definately clog other vital components and end up causing more costly problems.

Just because they sell it, doesn't mean that you should use it.
