A friend of mine has a slow coolant leak. Do they sell any kind of after market fluids that will help seal any small holes or leaks?

Thanks for any help

When I first saw the title I was expecting something like


My uhhhhh "Friend" has this bad rash...........



as far as the leak if its not to bad and its comming from the radiator they do make some stuff that can seal it. Usually can be found at any parts store. If it dosent work then the radiator is prob just shot.

I always laugh when I see those kind of threads. Those are usually in The Copacabana though.

I would guess the leak is either from the passenger side end cap of the radiator or from the water pump weep hole. I would find out where it is and replace that component.

I had a leak in my radiator. I put a some AlumaSeal in the radiator and it hasn't leaked since.

You can get it at autozone for 3-4 bucks.
