The problem with using mechanic-in-a-bottle fixes is that they’re not really fixes. At best they’re a very temporary stopgap that only puts off for a short time the work that needs to be done anyway. At worst they cause more damage than you had originally, so your repair bill is that much higher when you finally get the car looked at.
