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.
