Here's an interesting paper on the use of Blu-Tack to stop oil leaks. Blu-Tack.

I've also read of Blu-Tack being used as a temporary gasket in water and oil systems.

I think I'll put some in the emergency toolbag with the Gaffer tape, WD40, mole grips and hammer.

Now that would be amazing, if it did with the pressure that hydraulic systems have.
