Hi Deso, I wouldn't have thought that K-seal would cause oil pressure problems, as it is for coolant leaks. 

Was the coolant leak coming out of engine, or mixing with the oil?

I have used it in my Astra, as i thought i had a leak causing oil to get into the coolant. Not head gasket problem, as oil is not getting contaminated. I have never had the low pressure light come on due to  the k-seal.

Coming from the thermostat housing area it worked but 4 weeks  later got the oil pressure light next day changed oil but made it worse over heated now its in for full engine rebuild 1,800 beans

That's not good, but at least it's getting sorted. 

Keep us informed of what the garage find. Will be curious to know what caused it to over heat after a fresh oil change.

Hi Deso, did you get to the bottom of your oil pressure problem back in march?
