ATP AT-205 Re-sealer
'98 EX (D16Y8) manual transmission.
Pesky minor leak near Vtec solenoid. Changed both Vtec gaskets and distributor o-ring with insufficient results (still a minor leak). I have done extensive internet searching and a few post stated that their issue was/is a minor head gasket oil leak that is not causing compression or coolant leak. As a last resort (before replacing the head gasket) I poured in 3/4 a bottle of ATP AT-205 resealer.
It stopped the leak but I am wondering how long it will last?
The engine seems to be idling more consistently than before which also leads me to believe it was leaking from the head gasket.
