I have a Galant 92' with a 228k mileage. I recently noticed a very minor oil leak, a 5 minute drive doesn't cause a leak but a 10 minute with constant traffic causes a tiny drop.

I've asked my mechanic about replacing the gaskets but pulling the engine out costs about $200. So I was wondering if using a stop oil leak additive as a alternative solution is a good idea or simply nah? Saw a lot of negative comments about oil stop leak products but their situation varies from mine.
 
Oh, I get it, in reference to the OP's original question, since the thread kind of veered OT.
