There is a powder that you can put into the radiator to stop leaks at Walmart or some auto parts places. It’s only a temporary solution with negative long term effects.

For many years we swore by Barrs Leak. Not positive on the spelling but the product is great . It comes in a bottle about the size of a medium size pill bottle.

Bars works good but what is happening to the radiators?

Mike I have no idea and up until this last repair i've only dealt with dealership as far as service & repairs had a big falling out with them a few months ago they told me my transmission needed to be replaced and find out it was a battery issue instead and since then been skeptical of the work they claim they have done especially with this radiator issue

tuesday noticed the temperature gauge was higher than usual and a faint smell of coolant once I got home to check did not see anything leaking on the ground next morning warmed it up to check again and sure enough it was leaking on the ground

Stop leak will work depending on how big the leak is if small leak it will work I have used bars leak and alumi seal and had good results.

Just do not continue to add if it does not work the first couple of times that is when you can start clogging up cooling system.

Agree one bottle should do it. Replace the radiator cap in case it's holding to much pressure

If it doesn't leak leave it as is, once the stop leak sets its as good as solder
