Thanks Rick
Have you checked your water pump, gaskets, soft and hard lines? Or are you blowing smoke or water out of the tail pipe? Bars isnt that good for your vehicle because it can clog up things other than a leaky spot.

I personally hate stop leak because it gums up all your coolant lines and passages. Clums of the stuff can disslodge and clog up your heater core or even your themostat. I think of stop leak as a lazy mans fix and you end up messing up more and costing yourself more money in the long run. Bottom line is dont use it unless it is a dire emergency. If you do use it be sure to fix the leak and thoroughly flush the system when you do so that you dont run into more issues down the line.

Thanks, I hesitate to use it too. Maybe I'll change the water pump again.
