Ok it has now been nearly a week since I put in the wynns oil seal restorer.
I have to say after 1 day the oil puddle in the morning was smaller. After 2 days it was half the size again. After 3 days it was just a drip size spot and the last couple of days there has been no oil at all so a total success so far. Am very surprised how effective it has been. Who no's if it's the same in a week or so's time but so far it's worked a treat.

Also its probably all in my head but the car strangely feels like it runs better and pulls abit harder aswell.
But probly just in my head as not sure how it could effect anything to make that happen.

Well I guess I'm either going to get mocked or get a serious answer :grin:

Would this work on my valve stem oil seals?

Depends how knackered the seals are..
Being where they are, its probably better to replace.

Apologies for the old thread revival but is this the stuff you used stainesy?
