Gasket Magic is a proudly South African-developed solution, trusted since 2012, and designed specifically for sealing minor leaks in the cooling system caused by small cracks in engine block, or blown head gasket. It is not a fix for severe mechanical damage and leaks, but for targeted issues like early-stage coolant loss, or low compression due to minor leaks, Gasket Magic offers a practical, budget-friendly alternative to full engine strip-downs. Ideal for DIYers and workshops dealing with light-to-moderate leaks

If your vehicle is experiencing any of the issues below, you may be dealing with a blown head gasket or a minor crack in the engine. Early detection is key to avoiding major engine damage:

• Milky residue on oil cap or dipstick – this indicates water mixing with oil.
• Coolant bubbling or excessive pressure in the radiator – a sign of combustion gases entering the cooling system.
• Discoloured oil – frothy, milky, or brown oil can be a result of coolant contamination.
• White smoke or steam from the exhaust – especially noticeable during cold starts, often due to coolant entering the combustion chamber.
• Unexplained coolant loss – if your vehicle consistently loses water without visible leaks.
• Engine overheating – a common symptom of poor sealing or coolant loss.
• Misfiring or rough idling – often caused by loss of compression or coolant affecting spark plugs.
• Wet spark plugs – a potential sign of internal leaks affecting combustion.
• Loss of engine power – when compression drops due to gasket failure, your engine struggles to perform.
• Coolant or water seeping from the engine – look for wet areas around the block or cylinder head.
• Sweet or steamy smell from the cabin heater – could mean water/coolant leak in the engine compartment.

⚠️ Not all symptoms will appear at once. Even one or two may be enough to indicate a head gasket problem.
