do you see any white smoke? or evidance of a leak? you are either burning it, boiling it, or leaking it.

check the bypass hoses, they hide leaks pretty good.

Yep, been around since the 40's. Everyone carries it. Most OEM's put it in at the factory. This **** is the bomb!

i went out to get bar's leaks and they were out of stock of that exact bottle you had posted. instead they had bar's leaks in a clear bottle in powder form, is this ok?

Yeah, that'll work too. Just go to a different store. If you go the powder route, try Solder Seal. It's the best powder.
