Ford Explorer: Does ATF Conditioner/Leak Stop work?

Has anyone here had a good experience with ATF Leak Stop, either mixed in
ATF or a separate product? I've seen several brands, only one of which
mentions how long it should take to work (100 miles), but I just am not sure
it's worth the bother. My ATF goes down very slowly, so I was thinking of
giving it a try... 92 XLT 188K miles

These types of products are not intended as a permanent "fix"..... they are
a stop-gap repair to tide you over and are hard to call them a "fix". In the
case of transmission stop-leak, it is a seal sweller/softener - expect an
overhaul, sooner or later, after using this type of product.

Similarly, radiator stop leak works about 50% of the time......
unfortunately, this type of product has a hard time telling the difference
between a leak and an internal passage - like heater cores.

If you feel you must use a "stop leak" product, be aware that it can be much
more costly to clean up the side effects from their use than to repair the
problem properly in the first place.
