Bars Leaks Hydraulic fluid leak stop

[Roughridercog]

I talked to a guy today that said he added some to the dot 4 fluid in his clutch reservoir to stop a leak in his slave cylinder and it worked like a charm.
I am doubtful.
Any of you guys tried it with success?

Stop leak has an additive that softens and swells a worn/hard seal, I haven't used any and my two cents says it would be better to replace the seals than to put something other than brake fluid in the system.

Also doubtful. It's still glycol based hydraulic fluid, I can't think of anything that would magically stop a leak.

wondering how many times you get per treatment. while flying down the highway, at 80 mph, nah! it will work at least 1 more time! SPLATTTTT!

As a last resort in the middle of nowhere, maybe, and even then I would be hard pressed.

The clutch system on these really is not that complex, and repairs are not all that hard. Just new slave seals is $20 at most, and a few hours work.
Also, if it makes rubber seals swell, what does it do to the rubber hoses?
