"No Leak" causing leaks

"No Leak" causing leaks
I had an oil leak that if you really pushed the car hard would cause oil to drip on to the exhaust manifold and cause a burning oil smell. I got a product called "No Leak". Within 20km of easy driving, pretty much a steady 90kmh, my cabin filled with smoke. So I of course pull over and pop the hood not really knowing what kind of disaster I'll be treated with. There was a large amount of oil on the firewall where it was clean before. There also was oil visibly dripping (I hadn't actually gotten to witness it before). I'm relieved there was no fire.
What should I be expecting to remedy this.
On a somewhat related note I also got "Slick 50 Auto trans anti-wear treatment" Will this cause a black hole to open up and swallow my transmission.

RE: "No Leak" causing leaks
Sounds like you are going to get to replace a bunch of seals. In the future, don't put anything that isn't OIL in your engine, or anything that isn't coolant/water in your radiator. Stop leaks do nothing but swell oil seals, then they will leak just as fast. Now you just probably have more to fix. There is no product that is going to seal a leaking paper gasket, which is why oil was dripping on your exhaust.
