Anybody with experience using an engine oil additive for sealing slight
leaks (eg Redex Stop Oil Leak)?

My 1996 Golf 2litre (2E) engine has a small seepage of oil from a small area
of the head gasket on the left side of the engine. It's very slight - more
an annoyance than anything else, but I don't want it to become worse.

Will such an additive work? Are there any drawbacks?
Any thoughts welcome...

Probably just as cheap to buy a new gasket. If is leaking in needs to
be replaced anyway as it is going to get worse and can cause
performance issues.
