You can try it but it sounds like you have a much bigger leak than it can handle. It’s good stuff, I have used it myself, if it can help it will.
Any reputable brand of stop-leak can work temporarily, but it works by clogging the system, so it needs to be cleaned out when repairs are made. Just keep filling until you can fix it. Otherwise, the repair cost might be a LOT higher.
It's fine to use but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work. A guy from work tried the exact same product in his 2000 Buick Century and it didn't stop the leaking. That's my only first hand experience with that product. Jim
