          Follow these instructions: How-To Seafoam Your Car

          This is what I have followed every time I have done it.

                I've never heard FIRST HAND that it has happened but I have heard that if you have tons of carbon build up against seals that are otherwise bad - it might not be leaking right now but as soon as you seafoam it, you blow away the carbon build up and now there's a chance for the fluids to leak out of the bad seals.

                  I heard that too, Brian - but I never had any issues when I did it on the Camaro.

                  We did it on one of the brother's Mustangs, and man, did it smoke. It was so fun - people were staring.
