Thanks for all the responses - seems like I'll stick with Hylomar. I should
have known how it works after all this time!
Cheers

Hylomar always remains gooie and runnie. Its not like a silicone that cures
like rubber. It is suppose to seal all liquids that
our cars use. I am referring to the older type of Hylamar not one of the
newer versions that Moss is selling. They sell 2 now and one of them
sounds like the original.
