i was thinking of the r134a stuff i guess lol the leak down tester for your ac lines. but i guess if you can get a can cheap at napa or autozone or whatever you have there, then its worth a try. but i'd just check a few more places and take pictures so we can see what your talking about in more detail.

Just went to O'Riley and got this:

:woot:

Looks like that stop leak stuff did its job!

Drove around for 30 minutes and parked the car and nothing was pissing!

Going out in a few minutes to check on it.

That shit will plug your radiator fast.

Start saving for a new one because it's only a matter of time before it plugs a water passage in the radiator (if you're lucky) or the engine (if you're really really unlucky)

The car has 324k miles on it and I'm not going to leave the coolant in there forever I plan to do regular flushes on it.

Having this stop leak stuff in it for 6 months I doubt will hurt anything.

I flushed the coolant a couple days ago I should be fine for the mean time.

Plus we keep a eye on all our gauges if something happens to be abnormal we instantly check out the problem.

I wonder how many people will tell me this.

First of all the car has 324k miles on it and we do not have the 200 dollars to get a new radiator.

I understand the problems it may cause but we won't leave the same coolant in it for 4 years straight, I plan to do another flush in a couple months.

i understand about the money part i feel you there you might be able to take to a radiator shop and get them to repair it depending if just leaking around the seal if the tank is cracked they can just replace that just trying to save you some money

I'm going to see what this does for a bit and go from there and I already have a mental note to get a new rad when I can but this should hold me off till I can get one.

black pepper will stop most small leaks, or a egg raw poured in will also do the trick. but as with all stuff that stops leaks , also stops up heater core and rad.
