Bars leak in the radiator works miracles!

I would'nt doubt if you had a small weep, it would slow or stop completely for you.

Who knows... it may.

Mine actually isn't leaking (not right now anyway), I just saw this in the store and snapped a quick photo.

it may stop the leaks but what does it cover the engine components in? silicon gumms up the engine.

I can't speak for that stuff or using anything like it in a P-car, but I use 2 qts of Lucas oil additive in my jeep everytime I change it. Really upped the compression, cut down on ring blow by, leaks, and lifter noise. I've been using that stuff for like 50k miles and 6 years. Its amazing. Regardless, I'd have to have a pretty messed up engine in the first place to use it.

most of those miracle cures are additives that cause the rubber and plastic to swell which also weakens. But it stops leaking for a little while then gushes.

Pepper can slow radiator leaks too but eh

I think a can in the oil and a can in the radiator would solve any intermix possiblity
