Classic Car Engine Leaking Oil
Stop Oil Leaks Effectively Without Disassembly
With classic cars, oil-moist engines, oil drops underneath the vehicle, or a light oil film are not uncommon. The cause is usually aged seals – in most engine designs, these include shaft seals and O-rings. Polymer-based seals in particular lose their elasticity over the years and no longer provide a proper seal.
With LecWec, you can restore the functionality of these seals directly during operation without opening the engine or unnecessarily interfering with the vehicle’s original components.

How LecWec Works in Classic Car Engines
Classic engines use different types of seals: shaft seals and O-rings made from polymer materials as well as cork, paper, and flat gaskets. Polymer-based seals lose their plasticizers over time due to aging, temperature fluctuations, and long periods without operation. They become hard, shrink, and lose their sealing performance. This is exactly where LecWec takes effect during normal operation.
After being added, LecWec circulates through the oil system and reaches all relevant sealing points directly. The active formula is absorbed by the polymer seals and helps restore their original properties. The material becomes flexible again and fits tightly against the sealing surfaces. This closes the typical leakage gaps found at shaft seals and O-rings.
In practical use, this means that oil loss is significantly reduced or stopped, provided the cause is aged seals. LecWec does not work directly on cork or paper gaskets, but it can restore the sealing performance of the overall system when the main leakage originates from polymer sealing points.
Only 3% of the total oil quantity.
LecWec is chlorine-free.
For all oil systems and types.

"I have to report positively that the level matches the oil... unbelievable. [...] I wouldn’t have believed that the steering gearbox would be sealed again after just under a week."

"...nothing was leaking anymore!!!
I am truly very satisfied. At first, I did not believe the product would work, but now I am completely convinced and also saved many hundreds of euros!"

Oil leak at the steering rack
Verified review (Learn more)"There was always a small puddle of oil collecting underneath the vehicle. I added 100 ml of LecWec to around 4 liters of oil. Since then, I have driven many miles and was surprised to find that there was no more oil on the ground at all."

How to Seal a Classic Car Engine in 3 Steps
If your classic car engine is leaking oil, this is usually noticeable through an oil film on the engine, oil drops underneath the vehicle, or typical moist areas around seals. In many cases, aged shaft seals or O-rings are the cause. Instead of opening the engine immediately, you can address the issue directly within the system.
Step 1: Check the oil level and roughly identify the leak location (for example crankshaft, valve cover, or auxiliary components).
Step 2: Add LecWec directly to the engine oil at a ratio of 3% of the total oil volume.
Step 3: Drive the vehicle normally – the additive will circulate throughout the entire oil system.
The polymer seals absorb the active formula, become flexible again, and fit tightly against the sealing surfaces once more. This reduces or stops oil leaks at typical weak points. You avoid unnecessary intervention and preserve the original condition of your vehicle.
Classic Car Engine Leaking Oil? These 5 Tips Help
Identify the Leak Source Precisely
Clean the engine thoroughly and inspect it again after a short drive. This helps determine whether the oil leak comes from shaft seals, valve covers, or other sealing points.
Differentiate the Type of Seal
Shaft seals and O-rings are the key components for LecWec. Cork and paper gaskets only respond to a limited extent and must be evaluated differently.
Consider Long Idle Periods
Long storage periods cause seals to dry out. Especially on classic cars, this often leads to oil leaks even though the mechanical components are still in good condition.
Avoid Unnecessary Engine Disassembly
Opening a classic car engine always means interfering with original components and tolerances. Treat the system first before starting mechanical repairs.
Use LecWec Correctly and Monitor the Results
Dose LecWec at 3% of the total oil volume and drive the vehicle regularly. Then inspect the known sealing points. In many cases, the oil leak is significantly reduced or stopped completely.
