The seals cannot go for ev er but would begood to get the most out of them.
My seals are not leaking either but, would add the sealant to my system as a precautionary measure, if it did not do any harm otherwise, any advice?

When my crankshaft seal went at Tullys Farm halloween 2008 I lost pints of oil in the car park and had to use breakdown assistance. It was a torrent not a drip. I would change it. (1996 V6)

Well it looks like the seal is still working, the "oil" turns out to be rain water washing off some of the old oil left on the undertray.
