oil stop leak, is great for softening seals up that have gotten a little hard. Mind you they cannot fix it if the porblem is too bad. At your next oil change, have the tech throw a bottle into the oil. Oil stop leak usually take around 400-500km to start taking affect. If you noticed that the leak is better, but not gone by your next oil change, throw another bottle in. If by the third oil change the leak hasn't been fixed, you either live with it, or pull the tranny and fix it
