Awesome results
Did what it stated for my 30yr. old Corvettes rack & pinion steering. Was going to pull out the steering after having flushed and replaced the fluid with no satisfying results.I removed enough fluid to add this product,did so and test drove.Steering from stop to stop,in just minutes the stiffness was gone along with the tight spots.

Did nothing
What can I say. When you buy a product to serve a specific function and it doesn't deliver that specific function, that it is a product failure. I used the entire bottle as directed. It didn't even slow the leak. Just changed what fluid was leaking on to my driveway. Might as well have just used regular power steering fluid until I had time to fix it. It's cheaper and just as useful at stopping leaks as this stuff. Not at all.

I bought this after discovering I had a leak since adding power steering fluid in and a couple of weeks later making same noise then noticed power steering fluid was gone. Took it to a mechanic and found my pump has a very slow leak. Mechanic said wait until what I added of regular power steering fluid leaks out then add the Bar leak stop. I did and will admit the bottle needs to be made with a cap on each side because it's not possible to pour in equal amounts. I had to put my hand over one side to prevent making a mess every where and not getting the liquid in where power steering fluid goes. Why does the manufacturer make it like this makes no sense. A snap lid or screw on lid needs to be on both sides. I have no clue if this has stopped the leak because I don't drive often and won't know until I drive it a few times. I still have 1/2 bottle left of both sides of fluid of Bars stop leak. I know I will have to eventually replace power steering pump. Will the Bar stop leak work sealing the leak without driving vehicle and just leaving vehicle parked after filling where power steering fluid goes?

Will it stop a very small leak in a hose
Product Owner - suncoin1
I used it to quite the pump. Did a decent job for that!
Product Owner - fingersofred
No, in my experience it will not fix leaking hoses, it works well on seal
leaks, and shaft bushing leaks, if not too bad, as a temporary fix only, as
it will wear off/out...
Hope this helps.
