Oil leak

I have a little leak that seaps through the crush washers very slowly and I was wondering what would happen if I used no-leak. Has anyone used it before? Is there any side effects using it in 7's? Well, just wondering, thanks.

The only thing I can think of that has crush washers is the OMP... I don't think the oil cooler lines have them.

Yes, the oil cooler lines do use crush washers.

Don't think of using any of those STOP LEAK products.
They contain CRAP that solidifies when it comes in contact with air.
This is how it works.
So, any air in the system will cause this stuff to clump and clog up your system.
DON'T DO IT.

Fix the leak properly.
Doing it half-assed will only bite you in the ***.
