Alright, so on the 5th of March I score a bottle of Sea Foam motor treatment and give it a run. Followed the directions (both on bottle and from the dot org) everything went fine.

Then kicks in my stupid if its still working FINE, why not add a little sea foam (per directions on bottle) to crankcase (oil). So I pour a dash into my engine from the cap on top of the engine. Off I go.

Monday the 6th, in the morning to work while I'm waiting in line on the toll road, my maxima is smoking like I'm some freaking magician going to pull out turbo piping from my trunk. Crap.

So finally, after this is consistently happening, and after confirming YES I have an automatic transmission fluid leak, I bring it to a shop to take a look at the under-body. Possible blown o-ring seal on the torque converter. I have some pretty bad pictures quality wise, but you can see red "dots" which are pools of fluid.

Has this even remotely happened to anyone? Sea Foam or not. Also, how likely is this going to be fixed with just a tear down and replace all internal seals in the trans???

Thank you in advance! PS: I am still forced to drive as is.. I know its bad.

 

uhh.. i dont see how its related.. u poured it into ur crankcase, not ur tranny/transfercase

 

They are in no way connected to each other....

 

Am I to infer that you are blaming SeaFoam for your car's troubles? SeaFoam >>>>> GOD!!

I can't believe you actually think Sea Foam created this problem when the most viable solution is to add more Sea Foam, specifically to your tranny fluid.

 

To really find out what the problem is you will want to pull your back seats and look for the EGR valve.

Once you find it, let us know how it looks.

 

Hay a$$hole, if you're going to give advice, at least make sure it's complete.

RR5, soak the EGR in Sea Foam for 48 hrs. before reinstalling. Just don't get any on the seating surface during the process.

 

Wow, don't go off the deep end. I just forgot that step, and you did not remember that it is a good idea to remove the rear doors when taking out the back seats either!

 

1. remove the tranny and engine
2. soak both in seafoam for 2 weeks
3. (most important) replace the seal that let the seafoam go from your engine to your tranny in the 1st place
4. put everything back together


ps. now can we please stop with the seafoam threads

 

Don't forget that after you have finished all the aforementioned steps to take your hood off and go through a touchless car wash FTW!

 

Did you guys buy the artificial, processed seafoam or just collect your own at the beach?

 

I soak my seafoan IN seafoam. It gives me like 43 extra hp.
I heart you, seafoam

 

you just made me laugh out loud...and i really needed it. thanks joel

 

Lmao

 

Ok now that we have been collectively lowered to a 4th grade education level, I will restate my problem. This is what I do not understand. Perhaps it was the seals time to die and it did so right after I added the sea foam. Yes I know sea foam works wonders on the engine internals, I feel a nice difference everytime I accelerate.

I have had 0 transmission problems or leaks. In short no transmission problems. 24 hours later after pouring in a little sea foam into my crankcase, I blow a seal internally and cause transmission fluid to seep out. WHAT THE HELL?

 

Alright. This is what you asked.
From what I've heard, NO when it comes to Seafoam. You have a tranny problem. Why don't you get a quote? Your title is misleading from this point on. I know it's hard to take this but it must be purely coincidental.

 

It's one hell of a coincidence, but I have to agree the Seafoam did not mess up your tranny.

 

Poor guy is going to do everything you guys said.

 

You want to come meet me and see how smart I am.

 

the org standard is a 4th grade level. and this thread didnt take much since it was started at a 4th grade level

 

meeting you will prove how smart you are?

 

He's probably referring to mister left and mister right. You want some?

 

Everyone should know now when something changes on your car, the first thing you are supposed to do is go over anything you changed on the car.

IE: Added an ADDITIVE, changed some setting, switched fuel, switched motor oil and blah blah.

I was only stating what I did to the car, then what happened.

 

cause that proves intellect

 

you go over what you changed then discount anything that you know didnt have an effect.

i have a flat tire...
a. the last thing i did was change my taillight bulb
b. the thing before that was i filled up with gas
c. maybe it was the nail i drove over

 

He didn't end his "question" with a "?" so possibly he was commanding or telling him. Perhaps it was a form of internet hypnosis or mind control. Like, you want to send me your HIDs.

 

my HIDs will be sent to you tomorrow sir. anything else?

 

Jedi mind trick FTW.

 

Progress, I love your factitious attitude. Just like me.

 

Noodz of your better half will suffice.

 

Do you wanna fight?

 

Sure, any time. That was somewhat of a cromulent statement.

 

Forget it. I'll just take my licks and get the seal replaced.

 

Yes, it embiggens the board.

 

Undoubtably so. Glad to see someone else on the internet has an extensive vocabulary, and can form a coherent sentence.

 

I can actually form more than one coherent sentence. If you donate you will find much more superior sentence structure in OT.

Wow.. I have never read anything this interesting.. come on people.. he had a question and you guys are taking his questiont o the other level. why insulting each other instead of trying to find or give an idea of what the problem might be. Seafoam won't do any harm in the engine and won't make your tranny leak if you pour it in the engine.. it is just comon sense...... To all

 

You two need to get a room.

 

Well, I will have to regretfully pass on that.

 

Maybe I did learn something today.

 

that seafoam in the engine does nothing to your tranny?
