Default update:what do you think of this product?

I have a coolant leak somewhere on the back side of the motor. I've looked and looked. But i loose the trail as it goes up the side of the bell housing. It leaves a decent size wet spot in the drive way. I dont like to use quick fixes but........this will have to be an exception. My queston is what do you guys think of this product? Even though it is allready in the works. I need to know your opions. I took this product option on the word of the guys at local O'riellys.

go ahead and add that, or any simliar product with copper in it. i've used it before with no problems and, my dads caprice has been running that last 10 years with a cracked head and a copper sealant in it. zero leaks.

if you do use it though, follow the instructions exactly, and DO NOT use more than one container. my old POS '84 corvette had coolant leaking from everywhere, so i fiugred if one bottle worked 6 would be even better [:'(]. oh it worked...sealed my heater core into a block of copper.


just use one container and it'll be fine
