Can I Pour Stop Leak into the Coolant Bottle?
!!!!WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!!!
I worked on a vehicle where someone dumped some stop leak in the expansion
bottle.
That stop leak was able to close up a 1/2" hole but unfortunately that hole
was the expansion bottle outlet pipe and hose. lol
That vehicle overheated until things were unclogged and the leak elsewhere
was repaired properly. ;-)
It might be best, in your case, to take off the radiator hose and dump that
stuff directly into the radiator!
Of course replacing the radiator is an option too! <g>
JMHO
