Redex. I’ve got no positive proof of its abilities. Use it when it’s on offer.
Engine oil stop a leak. This does work. My weeping crank oil seal weeps no more on my L series diesel Streetwise.
K seal. Just avoid it at all costs.
There are no doubt more I’ve tried but can’t report on anything positive as I can’t remember. I’m sure I will think about more and post again.

Is K seal really that bad? I used it once after my mechanic blew up my Kia Sorento's engine, forgetting to add coolant after a turbo replacement: head warped, cracked. Couldn't drive anymore. Threw in K seal and could drive for another 600 miles until the header tank blew up (my own fault, there was still way too much compression leaking into the system, but it drove...). Then I replaced the motor.
