no prob. but if your looking for lite at the end of the tunnel to see, or salvage any kind of hope, immediately change your oil and filter, can you imagine what kind of havoc the glue played on your filter, after the glue dry-ed the filter is now only letting a small amount of oil by to lube the motor. after the oil change drive the car for 500 miles watching the oil for more signs of whiteness, if you see any do another oil and filter change. the lite at the end of the tunnel is this,
if you bought a generic brand of stop leak there is a good chance all its capable of doing is clogging up your oil filter, if you actually spent a bit of money, like 30 bucks for the good stuff theres no hope, but seeing the leak has not stoped. im betting you didnt spend all that much on the jar of glue and that is the best thing that could of happened at this point.
now about your leak, there is a bolt on the motor that attaches the gear box to motor, the location of this bolt is imposable to get to and tighten, this bolt has a good chance of leaking if it were to loosen by unexpected vibration this bolt will cause a oil leak of motor oil not gear box oil it will drip a few drops every time the car is parked if this is your problem its best to just live with it because to tighten this bolt more or less the motor needs to be pulled to do it.
you should not be loosing any gear oil (thinking you have a stick shift)
if you are the 40 cent rubber o ring that is around the c.v. flange is dry-rotted and needs to be replaced.
one tip
use a mobil 1 oil filter m1-102 buy it at you local auto parts store and bring it to the guy changing your oil, this filter will scoop up every microscopic foreign debree in your oil. i highly recommend it
