Depends what’s leaking. Stop oil leak usually swells seals, If pressured leak don’t use. You can try it but could make it worse. My personal feeling is not to add stuff to oil. Take in and get leaks fixed, remember depending where leak is could be fire hazard. If leaking behind timimg cover oil will ruin timing belt.
