oil leak fix

Have any of you guys used an oil additive to stop oil leaks? I was also wondering if that kind of additive is harmful to our engines.

I've personally never had luck with any additives for fluid leaks, the only one that did work once (temporarily) was radiator stop leak. Usually, on LT1s anyway, when something starts to leak, its inevitable that its...gonnna leak...These engine are slimey little buggers, atleast mine is.
