Has anyone used Wynns Power Steering Stop Leak?

Any good or to be avoided?  I know Wynns is usually a fairly reliable name.

Got a leak on the Nissan and I don't really want to spend out on getting it fixed when I'm just about to get rid of it.

I think Spanners has hit the nail on the head. Try it and see.
If it works great, if it doesn't it has to be fixed. A chemical fix depends on the extent and the cause of the leak.

I had this on one of my rovers, the pump was split with a gasket sealing the halves. The gasket had just crumbled away. If i recall i made a new one, it worked too.
