    Default radiator stop leak for leaking heater

    hey has anyone used this before for the heater? is it any good or worth a try? leak is not bad enough to see it leaking but carpet does get wet.

    either that or chem-i-weld

    only thing with chemiweld is that it may block your Rad, (i havent had this problem, heard others have)

    replacing your heater core with a non leaking heater core will also remedy this problem, i have one in my posession, if the job is to hard for you i am also happy to install for extra

    stop leak could work, it is a temporary fix though

    plus 1

    or you run a high concintration of coolant, and as it leaks it crusts up and stops for a bit, but as said anything you do apart from replacing it will only be tempary
