I used this years ago on a 1998 Chevy full size pickup that had a slight fluid leak in the intake manifold (a common problem, where it would let coolant leak through to the crankcase). I was skeptical, but one jar of Bars leaks and amazingly, it stopped the leak and I drove that truck for years after that. The leak never came back, never had any trouble with the engine.
YEARS?! Wow!!
Car caught fire after use of this
Really?
@@paoladiaz2908😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@paoladiaz2908you probably put it in when your car was still hot or you put the whole bottle in at once and you had a small leak and it clogged your thermostat shut
Definitely works! 2015 Freightliner all leaks stopped after a long drive.
Did you Apply it directly to the reservoir ? I have a Peterbilt and it’s radiator is leaking
@ralikk13 the directions tell you where to put it. If you can't put directly in radiator then put in coolant tank. Most likely they are connected.
In the old days ( like 1995) Bar's Stop Leak was still a tube of powder the size of a roll of quarters. I had a small wreck in my VW Rabbit Pickup and the plastic radiator was leaking. I installed Bars and drove for a couple more years, changed coolant and leak returned. Another tube of Bars and it was still holding when sold a few years later. I love this stuff!
Thanks for watching and the cool story!
@@ToddsGarage Your welcome. But here's the latest. I finally got the Leak fixed a few days ago in Texas. It was my water Pump that gave out. But the leaking started back just a few days before. So do I recommend stop leak Heck Yeah. I even brought another bottle after I got the repair job done shoot. Fish on.
@@MrJoey478which one? The one on this video ?
Let me tell you all something, I have a Big Rig 2016 Prostar International and Somewhere by the water pump area not sure exactly where at 1st the leak wasn't bad than a month later up until yesterday the leak was kind of bad having to add a whole bottle A Day. Went to Walmart brought 2 50/50 coolants plus one of them Bar's stop leak, engine wasn't hot, removed the cap poured the whole leak stop in, topped it off with coolant and hauled ass! Next morning (today) I said let me add some 50/50, NOPE didn't need it, Got Damnit that shit work. Don't see any dripping like before either. I don't even remember shaking it up like dude did in the video. I shook it up a little. I recommend this product. Everyone's case is different, but I know I have to get it to the shop asap. (UPDATE) A month plus later, & still no leaks! What i do notice probably because I didn't shake the bottle thoroughly is my Reservoir needs cleaning. A film has risen to the topish part of it. I'm going to let some Coolant out remove the Reservoir Myself it's Easy, high pressure clean it, re flush it with water, add Coolant clean dirty engine & boogie on down the Road to my Pick-up.
I bet it still works good
Its makes u feel good, same problem same reaction
Use this today worked like a charm (so far). Use the whole bottle and filled the rest of the way with coolant. Idled it for 20 mintues and drove for another 20 mintues. It was leaking for the first 20 while idling but after the 20 mintuie drive it had stopped dripping completely. Checked the coolant level after I turned off the engine and let it cool off for a while and it was full.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
How is it doing today?
I've got an 8 cylinder Vortec engine. I used this and it worked like a charm.
This just helped get me home 30 minutes away. My radiator kept leaking and car was over heating and shutting off because of it.
Did you replace the radiator or just used this?
@@demontegreene4328 I'm assuming he tried this first. Like most ...wanting to save $$. But this Brand saved my blown head gasket.. & I know if the 1st time doesn't work.. you should put a 2nd bottle in. ALSO FLUSHING THE RADIATOR REALLLLLLY SHULD BE DONE!! Adding it can help. But all the info I read..had much better results if they flushed iit
So do i empty out all my coolant & add the whole bottle or 2 ?@@mygoogle1266
I'ma try it my 02 Chevy s10 is leaking from the manifold gasket and replacing the gasket is a lot of work I'ma just put a little bit in at a time see what happens
It specifically says ( shake well and pour directly into radiator.)
Do not pack all the pellets at once in the radiator. Add some and throw the coolant on top and than add some again and add coolant on top again. That’s how it’s properly done.
It doesn't not say pour DIRECTLY in radiator. It says if you cannot access radiator, then pour in coolant (overflow) tank. The radiator and overflow is all connected anyway.
@@blackwomanorangecatbingo
Did you read the instructions?
I just bought a monster 1992 Lexus LS 400 and my only problem is a radiator leak 🤦🏾 I will definitely buy some today thank u so much 🙏 I just hope it works so I can save money in the mean time to get a new radiator
Did it work?
Thank you so much you help me to make a good decision on why my car was overheating
Thanks for watching!
Stuff works , leaking heater core in my 08 explorer put it in 6 years ago still holding
Thanks trying it now. While watching your video. For my water pump. 500.00 to repair. 4 dollars for bars stop leak.
Thanks for watching and good luck. Hope it works for you.
Hey did it work for you
@@Ghhhhh14119 It slowed it down drastically. Well worth it.
@@jamesgunter7699 thanks so for responding back to me... I'm getting the stop leak now as we speak 😊
@@jamesgunter7699 is it still working on your car now ?
All of a sudden car started leaking on the driver's side... Car overheated and I had to pull into Walmart to allow my car to cool. Went to the Auto Maintenance Dept bought some Bars Leak Stop Leak and followed your Directions... let it idle for 15 min or so and seems to be working so far... I'll check it tomorrow and the next day to make sure I'm good ...
Thanks for watching and posting your feedback!
What ended up happening???
Well????
How is it working today?
Thanks a lot pale haha
Do I add coolant first then the stop leak? I believe there's not enough coolant left.
Two pin-hole leaks in the top of the radiator on my 1987 Toyota pick-up. I'll be picking some of this stuff up at the auto parts store tomorrow. Thanks!
Hi Marc and thanks for watching! Good luck, hope it works for you.
Thank you so much i have 2009 nissan maxima i had a on going coolant leak and it was ammoy8ngnhsving to fill my coolant up alllll the time, i was gonna go replace the part but i saw this and 1 bottle in my 6 cylinder worked right away i did it exactly the way u did n it worked!!!! Thank you
Do u add coolant before adding the stop leak bottle?
@brettcollette8405
I have a 2010. Lincoln Town Car Executive L with a heater core that failed 4.6 lt v8 I had coolant dumping out car overheating my car used 4 bottles of this stuff I’ve been driving 8 months on it 18,000 miles so far. It works but when you repair it you want to flush all fluids that are connected to your cooling system.
Worked great for me with a large RV radiator
So do I empty out some of the coolant to the point I can add the whole bottle ?
Siiick!! Bought some the other day was just nervous about using it haha. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Im glad it worked. Goingvto try this for my heater core. Concerned it will cause ussues latter by clogging radiator or thermostat.
My 1999 GMC Sierra was leaking coolant from the Radiator. It wasn’t bad enough yo overheat it but it was definitely leaking. I’m a realtor and I took this truck instead of my Armada because we had a advertising event for my brokerage and I needed to take tables, chairs, etc and it was 107 degrees F here in Texas today stopped at a gas station for a monster and boy was there a HUUUUUUGE puddle under my front end. I was like shoot I guess it’s time to buy that 2018 I’ve been wanting if this doesn’t work I stopped at Auto Zone got a bottle and it WORKED. IDK If im happy or not. If it didn’t work my wife would’ve let me buy the 2018🤣🤣 Lol anyways this product worked GREAT on my 349,091 mile 1999 Gmc Sierra with the 4.8l v8 with original Radiator!!😛
So pour it in the coolant reservoir or the radiator ?
either or. I put it in both
Nice video. First one that pulled up when i searched it... Okay now wish me luck im gonna do it rightnow on my car 🤞🏽
Thanks for watching, Good luck!
Did it work lol?
Bar's leaks really stop my radiator leak on CORONADO 2012
Thanks for the info for stopping radiator leakage
Thanks for watching, I appriciate it!
I think I missed it, should use the bottle first and then put the coolant in? Or should I put coolant first?
It said make sure you top it off with coolant to proper level after you put it in .
I would like an explanation as to why you were not able to pour it into the radiator. Also, do you fill the coolant to the fill line first then pour in?
Because a lot of vehicles now just have a resivour Tank. ✌️
Best thing is replacing radiator period.
I've owned many cars and faced coolant system issues with most of them. When my 2004 Sienna minivan started leaking from the radiator, I decided to give Bars Leaks radiator sealant a shot, pouring about half the bottle into the coolant reservoir. After taking it for a test spin around the neighborhood, the van began to overheat, prompting a quick return home to investigate. Once the engine had cooled, I discovered a clump of the sealant, a gel-like substance filled with tiny metal particles, right under the coolant system cap (not the coolant reservoir cap). I was able to easily remove it with my fingers. After this minor hiccup, the vehicle no longer overheated, and, impressively, the radiator leak was gone. The experience left me contemplating whether a more thorough shaking of the bottle or perhaps straining the product could prevent such issues. Would I consider using it again in the future? It's a possibility, given the success I ultimately experienced.
So even if there’s coolant in the radiator can you still add it?
Yes!
So do we put it in the radiator or the antifreeze cup? I have a 2012 rt durango and mine started overheating today and leaking just want to know before I start working on it
So does my car have to have nothing in it when I use the Bar leak?
does it really work I just put whole bottle in my car coolant .....hope it work geeezw hate overheat
Hi and thanks for watching. For us it worked for about a year, I do have some follow up videos on my channel if you want to watch them. I think it just depends on the situation on how well it will or wont work.
Thank you so much!
Any updates since using it ? I’m scared now after some people saying it will damage heater core
Anyone know if I could put this in my 2008 Dodge Nitro overflow tank I don't have direct access and the Nitro overflow tank is not pressurized will it work the same ?
My heater stopped working. How do you get this stuff out of there!? I've tried flushing the system twice by professionals but the heater still doesn't work and the glitter is still in the twice changed coolant.
Que tal amigo ! Como te ha ido despues de 3 años si vale la pena? Y cada cuando se lo pones ?
Used half recently on my camry but still experiencing small leak so should I use rest of the bottle?
Yes!
I have a small weep from one of the coolant hoses that connect into the engine of my Yamaha Vmax1700 V4 on the right side. Its a weep and I'm regularily topping up coolant. Should i use this straight into the reservoir?
I pute out this thing in my car radiator to stop a small leak , the day after , p2181 cod show up in my dashboard saying the thermostat is stuck won’t be open and engine started very bad with ragh , changed the thermostat, and the water pump start making noises and lost the ac and the heat , I drain out all the water from the car too many times to make this thing come out from the engine !!!!!
I will change water pump and the radiator.. waiting for the parts to be fixed ..the you think I will lose my car engine?
Please guys share your experience with me any advise I need to take action !
I have high hopes on this fixing my radiator leak. I DID have a blown head gasket on my 2005 Grand Prix 10 years ago. I followed those directions to a T....making sure my 37yo daughter & my 13 yo grandson helped from beginning to end. Pass on the knowledge!! (taught my daughter to change her oil & brakes always having her help Mom out so she herself could be self sustaining & independent. (Sorry control freaks! Only strong supportive men allowed here!) I put the car up for sale after driving it another 3 months after that. A son brot his father & AFTER he test drove it & saw how clean it was, I told him everything. The father was A MECHANIC! & WENT OVER THAT GRAND PRIX with a fine toothed comb! Telling me I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!! THAT CAR NEVER EVER HAD A BLOWN GASKET!! LOL! I may have THOT IT DID.. BUT there was NO WAY with the way it was running & the look under the hood that I was right. No way he sed!!
They bot the car, **drove over 100 miles from Meadville Pa to Buffalo NY. . . I called him 6 months later, & he was extremely happy with his $800 purchase!! Bragging to me about what I already knew. My car was a hella purchase!! A STEAL!!
Can't wait to use this & forget my problem.
BTW.. I started out asking $2200. The gasket blew, & I dropped it to $900, he offered $800 & she was sold!!
Did you fill your radiator with coolant before using Bar Leaks?
yes
Please can anyone comment on this product. I have a hairline crack on my radiator in the upper right by the main hose, that is weeping after driving. I've patched it with JB Weld and just need to be able to drive the vehicle for a week or so until I can replace the radiator which I have ordered. But afraid of course the patch won't hold.
Why can't I use this as a stop gap just to keep my engine from overheating? I got on a Jeep forum and 20 people all told me it was garbage and would 'gum up' my radiator and ruin the heater core, etc. I just don't see how a product could be sold in stores all over the country if its this destructive
Can I use this for a 2002 Silverado ?
Im being told i need a water pump and timing belt bc of leak ..will this work??? I cant afford the fix at mechanics 😭
Same here. What did you end up doing?
@@edwardamaro6219no harm in trying it out. It worked in my favor.
Is the overflow tank full or empty when you pour it in
I have this same question
It shouldn't matter. You pour it in, add more coolant (car cant run without coolant), turn car on and let idle, let cool and fill car with more coolant and drive. Repeat if it still leaks.
Thanks! Very helpful...
I added the stop leak yesterday. Seems like the leak got worse overnight . Am I doing something wrong
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Would this fix a leaking upper seal?
Did you try it? My radiator leaks from the "seams" on the top. Not sure why. I am planning use it, but a bit hesitant.
This stuff works great!!!!
Thank you ❤
Is it just a mechanical seal? for example little particles in the fluid clog up the hole? Or does it also chemically bond (with heat and exposure to air) to the metal/plastic?
Hi Ozgur, Thanks for watching! I am not sure how it works unfortunately, sorry I can't answer that. I would reach out to the manufacturer for that information.
its a chemical bond, the temperature difference from the leak is what solidifies it
Really good question
@@ToddsGarage ?
It fixes the leak by the tiny particles moving into the leak and partially plugging. The rest happens by the coolant coming through and drying up by being exposed to air and creating a slight bond with the additive. So, it's technically the coolant which plugs the leak.
So do I pour with antifreeze already in or do I wait
I'm scared to put this through my leaky radiator.. will it damage my vehicle?
No it's been around forever.
I seen to have a small leak in my heater core it smells like antifreeze inside my truck when i turn on the heater will this help ? Thank you
First of all I just want to say God bless you sir you have a specified every detail of your actions from start to go which is the most important and significant part of any video.

Could this be used on my leaking windscreen plastic water bottle leaking from a seal I can't get to..
Where you pouring that where the coolant is poured too
Did it last?
Used a similar product by Prestone on my 1983 Toyota. Toyota dealer's first question. Did you use stop leak. He told me the engine cooling tubes were plugged resulting in overheating and failure of the head gasket. Change the radiator.
Am I missing the follow up video to this? I’d like to know how the car is doing today?
Have you tried any of the newer radiator leak sealants such as bars leaks liquid copper... Liquid aluminum... Or 2 part coolant system repair???? I have a decent size leak somewhere in the radiator near the top on the side of it... And was told to use either the Aluminum or 2 part cooling repair... But when i looked on a comparison chart on an auto website the chart only said the liquid copper formula was able to repair LARGE LEAKS?? ... NOW I DO NIT KNOW WEATHER TO TRUST THE BARS LEAK REP OR THE CHART THAT STATES THAT THE LIQUID COPPER IS BEST FOR "LARGER" LEAKS IN THE RADIATOR??? ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!! TY TO WHOEVER MAY TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND REPLY AS ME AND MY FAMILY IS HEAVILY RELYING ON THIS VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO!!!!
Hi and thanks for watching! I have not tried those unfortunately, hopefully another viewer has and can give his experience. Good luck and hope you car lasts for years to come!
Okay I have a 99 camaro 3.8l v6. and my radiator starting leaking yesterday. I wanna try this stuff before I buy a whole new radiator.. do I pour it directly in the radiator or do I put it in my reservoir? Please and thanks you
I have a Grand Prix with the exact same engine with an intake gasket leak and I'm about to try the k seal
Am i able to pour this in my coolant if its still hot ?
Yes. I personally think it works better when entered hot but it has to cool to seal properly. Better to do on a cool spring weather or early summer mornings.
Would you recommend to pour it in before or after the antifreeze? And, do you still drive it around town or nahh? #answerrr
Hi and thanks for watching I appriciate it. I don't have a recommendation for what is best, just make sure to read, understand, and follow the instructions on the bottle 100% if you decide to use it. Also make sure to wear the proper safety equipment and take all safety precautions. Also we still drive the car! It had some issues leaking recently. I do have some follow up videos you can find on my channel If your interested. Thanks again for watching!
@@ToddsGarage hi thanks again. Sure will take precautions seriously and again thanks.
@@iiqueenjessiciaii Thanks again for watching!
Great video def helped me alot
Thank you for watching!
Did you fix your leak? How bad was it.. And where was it located??? I AM TRYING TO SEE WHICH PRODUCT IS BEST FOR A LARGER LEAK DIRECTLY IN THE RADIATOR SOMEWHERE!! ANY INFO OR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! TY
could this also be used in a coolant system without leaks for preventative maintenance?
If it aint broke don't fix it. That's like spraying a can of fix a flat in your tires every few months for just in case.
@@israelfreenation3469 well not really, but I see your point. did you know car manufacturers put sealant like this in the coolant when cars first come out of factory? speeds up time it takes to reach eng running temp as well as temp regulation after it's running... just some info I found after researching this. fix a flat is terrible, great way to destroy the tire, better to just use a spare.
Do you know if this liquid will work on a leaking water pump ??
I just used it today and it solved my leaking water pump.
@@fauxatlus8247 but it’s a temporary fix right ?
@@jessie2_savageprobably but this stuff says it fixes leaks permanently.
While putting that coolant sealer... coolant tank needs to be empty?? Or can we put that fluid when there is half tank of coolant??
can i put the Bar,s Leaks directly into the coolant resevoir ?Right now the coolant is at the right level
@@jeffreygordon6478 dude watch the video he literally says you can do that
My coolant is empty though can I pour some in there and then my coolant last
Can I put it in the radiator?
Yes. Put it in the radiator.
Don't open the radiator when it's hot!
Some cars don't have a radiator cap so in those cars you put it in the reservoir. The reservoir becomes pressurized and pushes it into the radiator. It's a miracle.
I always worry about putting things in the reservoir. Like they might go to the wrong place! How would I know?
Or just sit there forever. I always wonder did it ever make it to the radiator? What if some clever mechanic switched my hoses around and now it's going to the wrong place?
I always feel like I have to track down the hose and make sure that it's going from the reservoir tank over to the radiator. Otherwise how will I know? Maybe it goes to the transmission or the gas tank.
Or on the ground.
Maybe it goes to the glove box....I better track the hose down and make sure it's going to the radiator!
Never touch a hot radiator. Never put your fingers in the radiator fan.
It says coolant reservoir.... but why doesn't it just say "radiator"? It doesn't look like a radiator?
Read the owner's manual.
If you can't find it, search for it online "make model and year owners manual"
All mechanics are honest. You can trust them. Just kidding!
i have a large whole in the radiator where i fill the water deposit and it pretty much drains out. Would it be a waste to try this?
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure unfortunately if this would work for you or not. You might try reaching out to the company and seeing what their advice is. Thanks again for watching!
Do i pour it in why i got coolant in my truck already
yes
I wonder if it will clog somewhere else, the engine, hoses, thermostat, pump, etc.
Hard to know, time will tell if it does anything, so far so good though for me.
@@ToddsGarage I was surprised it didn’t have a leak after I added a stop leak and fill it with anti freeze. Also, it didn’t clog the heater core. Two days later it started leaking again but not very much. Your video helped me a lot. Thank you for that.
Heater stopped working and still won't after two professional flushes
This product, or products like this, are designed to get you out of trouble, and are not a cheap permanent fix. It will clog up you radiator, heater core and all of the small water ports throughout your engine.
Proceed with caution!
I used a similar product 9 years ago on my 97 ram. No leaks, no problems. 327k miles.
This liquid work en plastic The radiator
Do you use it while coolant is in it
Yes, just add it to your coolant, then top it off with more coolant if it isn't full.
If your radiator cap has pressure behind it, it likely isnt leaking.
Not true
Well if the leak is elsewhere and the tstat is closed, it'll hold pressure for a while at least.
There are lots of small leaks that only show up when the engine is hot and the heating system it at its highest pressure. Then the car cools off, the thermostat closes back up, and the leak stops. Think of all the places like radiator hose clamps that only leak when it gets really hot. That cap will still be under pressure.
Not really. My car had a leak in 3 different places. Pressure was building up but it was still leaking badly.
Once again, directions clearly say pour directly into radiator. Not into reservoir.
Yeah you suppose to, but some car’s different like mine
But it also says if you can't access the radiator you can put it in the reservoir
Do this help heater core ?
I read reviews about it blocking the heater core. Check Amazon reviews.
Where can i buy this
Walmart or any auto zone
Great video! Thanks for posting. I know it says “not to”... but would it still work if I poured directly into the radiator? Seen videos on YT for a product called “k-seal”, and most of them poured directly into the radiator. Just curious.
Thanks for Watching. The instructions on what I used said when car is completely cold to poor directly into radiator, and if radiator was not accessible into the overflow tank. I will have to make a video on the k seal if my car starts to leak again. Thanks again!
You are supposed to pour it directly into your radiator. U only pour it into your reservoir if your reservoir is pressurized. He made a mistake in the beginning of the video saying your not supposed to ✌
Your SUPPOSE to
Okay I have a 99 camaro 3.8l v6. and my radiator starting leaking yesterday. I wanna try this stuff before I buy a whole new radiator.. do I pour it directly in the radiator or do I put it in my reservoir? Please and thanks you
@@TwonTheDealer directly into radiator.
Did it works great but how long will it last
Hard to say for sure but in my case still preventing any leaks. Thanks for watching!
@@ToddsGarage I drove it for 3 hours at 70 MPH no leak it was a pin hole so far so good thanks for the reply
Bad idea Ant bee. It WILL screw your vehicle up. When said leak actaully needs fixed your mechanic will know what was done. Unless its a cheap junker dont touch leak sealers
@@kyos8462 Been six months still going strong only used 1/4 of the bottle
Can this stop a water pump leak?
Thanks for watching, I am not sure. I would contact the company directly to see what they say. Sorry I can't be more help and hope you get your car fixed.
Thanks
Can you mix it with water??
Hi thanks for watching, you want to use the correct antifreeze for your vehicle. The problem with water is once it's in the system and the tempature gets to freezing the water will freeze and damage your vehicle. Thanks again for watching!
Don’t use water I’ve made that mistake, seized motor in my Miata because the water froze inside the engine
The instructions on the bottle say you're supposed to drain the water out of the radiator before you use it. I'm not sure how I would do that, without a mechanic or a lift, but you seem to say the opposite anyway. Please explain. Many thanks.
As long as you’re aware your coolant is clean, go ahead. I completely drained and burped my coolant system so ik it’s clean, but if you’re not sure, do that before
Just drain it via plug bolt...
Any leaks yet?
Thanks for watching, no leaks on our car yet.
Don't know about blued devil product
but u didnt put it dirreclty in radiator u put it in the tank technically
Me tapo ni rayador casi pierdo mi troca no lo recomiendo o tal ves me faltó aserle el flujo después de los 30 minutos
When you filled it was the car cold?
Yes, you have to make sure car is off and engine is all the way cooled down. Thanks for watching!
Doesn’t work on my car…
Would have been better to show the leak dripping to prove it had a leak to start with
Hi thanks for watching, I wish I had started the filming a little earlier in the leak process also but I promise there was a genuine leak. When I made this video all of the coolant had already leaked out, there was nothing left.
So do you thank this guy would like to you about his car having had a leak before he started filming ? Before he may have even THOUGHT OF RECORDING ? Read the comments section friend. See how many others basically say the same thing, it fixed the leaks.
Does this not cause many problems afterwards?
Yes it will 🤭 10 dollars now= 1000s later. Look for customer reviews. I have never met one legit mechanic that recommends this snake oil. Real mechanics will laugh, sorry if you used this crud
Depends if you car has over 200k don't worry about a new car or newer car I would not use it but hey it's been around for years and years
@@kyos8462 no shtt sherlock, of course a mechanic that gets paid for replacing parts doesn't want you to use this bottle
The directions said to poor directly into the radiator. Why did he poor it into the reservoir? Big mistake. Future mechanical damage no doubt.
Some cars dont have any place to pour it directly into the radiator just like my car 🤷🏽♂️
@@franciscoacosta207 take off top hose and pour it in that way :)
It's the same shit, you clearly know nothing about cars.
This guy had a radiator cap - if no radiator cap you could take upper radiator hose off and pour it in there.
Directions specifically read, to pour into reservoir if you have a sealed radiator/no cap. I used it yesterday, worked until I have time to get a new radiator
So many mistakes, you also need to drain the coolant from the drain plug, and to which you pour it all into the radiator. The way you done it could potentially clog the hoses up and not fix the radiator leak. Should have add it like I said the way I said it.
Lol stop leak will plug up the small holes in your cooling system like thermostat bleeding valve to let air out and heater core. Just do a proper repair
Can't afford to fix it now that im laid off. Thanks Biden 🙄
@@ogdad6664 in the long run you will do less damage to the vehicle without using that shit. Already had to replace two heater cores this winter because customer used stopleak. Also flush might not remove stopleak from the coolant system.
@@ogdad6664 manufacturers recommend using distilled water with concentrated coolant. They dont want any shit inside the system. If it worked that good Warranty repairs would use this and save millions of dollars.
DONT USE UNLESS YOUR TRYING TO DESTROY YOUR MOTOR
runnin it with a leak ir no coolant will ruin the motor anyways duh
