Folks, what's the verdict on engine stop leak oil additives?

I know they're a temporary fix, but are they safe?

I read somewhere that the products used to swell the seals can also soften them and cause them dry out/shrink even worse later. I also read they can clog oil passageways inside the engine.

So what's the real deal?
