Yes, there are additives specifically designed to help seal leaks in gaskets, including timing cover gaskets. These products usually contain sealant compounds that can expand and fill small gaps or cracks. However, while they may provide a temporary fix, it is generally advisable to replace the gasket for a permanent solution to prevent further leaks and potential engine damage. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for the best course of action.
