Default Engine Restorer?

I was in Napa the other day, getting some coolant and washer fluid and saw this stuff. Has anyone used it, and what were the results? The only thing I could find online were the companies claims. Is that basically what sea foam does?

I used it hoping to try and stop my leaky valve guides/seals but it didn't seem to help.

I do however seem to notice a slight power increase, but that might be in my head... I swear its got a little more pep though.

It does work to a certain degree, but it is not similar to SeaFoam, which is a cleaning / de-carbonising agent.

Just add a can with each oil change, but be sure not to overfill the crankcase.

Tell me this then..

I am getting one drop of oil from the driver-front corner (approx) of my engine about every 24 hours after adding this with an oil change.

I recently got the car and may have added a bit much, it is clearly over the second hole on the dipstick.

If I overfilled would I be getting a lot more than a drip?

I used this "Engine Restorer"..
Seriously, I didn't see no effect on it.

But then again, Seafoam has it's ups and downs too.
