Interesting subject. My impression is that the "reseal" products–often sold for use in automatic transmissions–are solvents that are absorbed by rubber and cause swelling. They can cause a beneficial reduction in leakage (not usually permanent) but aren’t plasticizers and don’t do much to restore flexibility.
