seems ive seen you do that to more than one person. isnt that whats call karma?

 

everybody assumes stop leak will stop up the radiator and heater core, but in reality it rides around in the coolant in solution. wherever there's a leak, it bubbles out and solidifies, building up a pretty solid, crusty seal. i've used it before without it causing a problem.

there's no guarantee it'll work either short term or long term, but its a hell of lot easier than dropping the transmission.

 

why even speculate or condem any repair until the real problem is found? i got a cheap spirit that someone used stop-leak to fix a headgasket. after i fixed it right, it overheated cuz the rad was plugged so i replaced the rad cuz i couldnt get it cleaned out good enough and then i didnt have heat i back flushed the heater core and finally got everything working right

 

Show me!

BTW, you're not fooling anyone. You registered a mere 3 hours and 15 minutes after 22dodge was banned and you visit all of the same forums as him.

 

you just did

 

Thanks to who have replied. I removed the crank sensor. It's really hard to see but it does look like its 1 or both freeze plugs.

Now I just need to decide what to do about it.I'm leaning towards the aluminum powder Alloro suggested.

Thanks again

 

I guess one last question..
I see alumaseal comes in liquid and powder. Alloro mentioned the powder. Could I gain any advantage using the liquid as it contains conditioners?

If conditioners aren't all that nec., I'd rather go with the best sealing power.

I flushed/changed the antifreeze about 6000 miles ago.

 

Personally I would use the powder, to me it will seal the best. The current coolant should be in pretty good shape still and not need anything conditioning wise added to it.

 

Since you're having no other problems except for the leaking, I'd go with the powder to address the issue at hand. The conditioners could end up softening seals and/or joints and start causing problems that you currently do not have.

 

so u throw a temp fix at what will become a serious problem. for like $200 you can get a really nice bore scope from home depot. milwaukee brand it's got a couple feet fiber optic with dimable light and a 3" color lcd screen then you can see in there. comes in handy to look in other tight spots too. i use one at work - im a industrial maint tech and fix a lot of equipement and these scopes really come in handy for me to inspect rollers, pulleys gears ad so on
