Scotty Kilmer ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks

ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks, 8 Ounce Bottle
https://www.amazon.com/Shell-Rotella-Sy ... op?ie=UTF8

After the Trango Shift Kit installation and a complete flush on the 2003 S80 T6 I noticed this? It never dripped on the driveway, never saw wetness going further down underneath of the car yet after wiping, it always came back after a drive.

After Googling to find the problem and solution, which was nothing I came upon a video I saw sometime ago.

Purchased half a dozen from AutoZone as it was on sale.

You sold that good, I bought a couple of bottles:) Watching youtube videos (NOT SC) and reading reviews makes me believe this aint just snake oil.
EDIT: I'm gonna try it on my BMW that has a leaking RMS, see what it does.

Didn't drive the Volvo very much after son didn't need a car for now at college so forgot about the leak. Decided to check the fluid on several cars while putting on Costco wiper blades for the rainy weather coming up. If you will keep an eye on your leak let us know how soon it took effect, that is if it does work for your leak.

I put it in the engine and transmission since both were changed around the same time even though I'm pretty sure it was transmission fluid. Figure it might be more effective with clean oil and fluid.

So, did it work on your BMW leaking RMS?

BMWs have permanently sealed crank cases with oil that doesn’t need changing, so there’s no fill port.

Well, it actually wasn't the RMS leaking but just about everything else was. I poured that stuff in but it didn't make too much difference. The leaks were too far gone. It helps with pinpointing leaks pretty good though. My Bmw for example was leaking mostly from the upper timing covers which has a thick rubber gasket. Hard to tell without the dye.

Scotty Kilmer frightens me every time I see one of his videos. He either hates Nissans or loves Volvos or thinks electric cars are trash or moans about transverse mounted engines. Sometimes I think he’s run out of oxygen and his mouth is on auto pilot. I basically do the opposite of what he preaches, and I’m fine. If I have to hear another ridiculous claim about the longevity of his Toyota Corolla, I may hurl.
Looking for a V90 to be my next Volvo, at the very least a T5.

2017 XC90 Inscription - My best Volvo by far, but Ex-wife departed & I had to sell. 😕
2001 S80 T6 - rebuilt trans, head gasket, fixed & sold
1997 V70 - kid car, sold
1996 850 GLT - found under bridge, 2 year refurb project, commuter car, kid car, T-Boned - SIPS saved passenger. Totaled.
1997 VW GTI VR6 - exceedingly fast.
1971 VW Type II/231 - it was pointed out by management that the children would be killed in it.
