NO additives are recommended by any good mechanics. Only the full repair is best especially whem dealing with coolant leaks. Usually intake leaks are from years of corrosion the coolant will turn to acid in most oif todays cars if not treated you will have much internal damage. the external leaks will only show up when damage is done. Dont write off the vehicle it ,will be much cheaper to repair than pay the extra cost for insurance ,interest loss of value for new cars.....

How can you restore horse power in your old car?

By doing a full tuneup; changing sparks, wires, distributor cap/rotor, changing the air filter, the oil, flushing the transmission and the radiator. From there you should repair any engine leaks, replace any old vacuum hose (all of the vacuum hoses), and put a fuel system cleaner in your gas tank. I recommend Gumout with Regane as a good cleaner.
