my engine had an oil leak around the CAS area but i thought it was the head gasket. I went to the parts store and bought an additive that said it would fix head gasket leaks.... bad idea. The car was losing preformance, did and 18.5 at the track, the lifters went crazy on me ticking as loud as they could scream and my oil pressure started jumping back and forth...
enough weedy weedy, let the pictures do the talking...

I accidentally added the Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair into my engine oil, what should I do?
Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Repair is only designed to be added to the cooling system. If the product is installed in the engine oil and the engine has not been started, in many cases you can remove the valve cover and drain the oil leaving the drain plug off. Then use an engine flush washing out the head keeping special attention to the oil return holes that run down to the oil pan. Clean these out and pour the engine flush down these holes flushing everything into the oil pan and out the drain hole. If the engine has been run, you need to take the vehicle to have a professional mechanic evaluate what can be done to clean the inside of the engine.
