89 Tempo 2.3L. Oil leak when parked on a side street but not on level ground like a parking lot. Leaks on the front of the engine (passenger side). When parked overnite, leaks about 4 oz. I think the front main bearing seal is the cause. Is there any good stop leak product out there that can rejuvenate the seal? I heard about a trick using brake fluid. If this will work, could someone telll me how much to use?

that sounds like the problem i had with my bronco..the rear main seal must have had a crack in it from sitting for a few years...i bought some stuff from a local parts store but i cant remember the name..i think it was from lucas oils but im not quite sure..it was kinda pricey (like 16 bucks) but it did the trick so no more oil leakage!
