Default Radiator question... need yoru opinion quickly!!!

I found out that i have a minor crack near on top of the radiator. its minor becuase it drips very very slowly. anyways i really dont have the money to buy a new radiator, so i bought this radiator leak sealant to fix the seal.... now i head that it works, but then i heard from other people that it will make me lose hp or just get lots of **** in my engine.... im not really sure about it, but if anyone could help me out here, it would be a great help... thanks alot guys

radiator stop leak will destroy your water pump. in a worse case scenario, it can cause the impeller blades to break off and then circulate through the coolant system.

Dont use the stop leak, it will kick your entire cooling systems ***...

Just let it leak untill you can afford a new radiator

be really careful about fluid levels and dont drive too hard


I drove my car leaking half a gal per day for a few weeks, as long as you are careful it should be ok

Fluidyne... very nice radiator
