....idea brewing.
Heat up silicon compound til it's 'liquidy'
During oil change, replace a qt of oil with silicon.
Immediately start engine and rev to 3k rpm to get it all flowing nicely.
Turn off and let cool.
No more oil leaks... Ever
???
Profit!

Ok so what you do is get some of the headliner spray or any substance that's sticky enough, and put some in next time you change your oil, that way, the new oil will stick to everything on the inside of your engine and you'll never have to spend money on oil or filters, 'cause then they'll be obsolete!

I put one of those dishwasher tablets in my gas tank. I heard that will get you an extra 2 or 3mpg because it cleans your injectors and it will make it so you never have to get a new fuel filter. 
Do you think that would work in my tranny too, you know, like liquid Dawn?

MMMMMM paste more than just a snack.
We really need to get back to the point of this post. Does it work? I know from having worked with caulks they will bond to anything as long as it's clean and oil free, and are heat resistant to a point. Thinking about it a fire caulk may work better than bathroom caulk.
