i have a 98 and I'm having the same problem. if you are firmiliar with the look or smell of coolant check for that too. chances are that my head gasket is blown and i need to replace it. you probably have fluid (oil&coolant) dripping from your spark plugs. i went to an auto shop(Strauss) and got an estimate at $1700. if your like me you can't exactly afford that price. The basic operation of fixing this problem is to drain your oil, take the engine head appart, remove the gasket and clean the dirt off of the heads. if you leave any dirt on you will result with the same problem you started with. Put the engine back together and your on your way. The parts you will need to do this are new head gaskets (i drive the 2.5L 6 cylinder) and because they have by now been saturated with fluids your going to want new ignition cables and spark plugs. the parts cost me around $180 and if your smart you'll do what i did and find a friend that will do it for $100 and a bottle of captain Morgan. good luck.

Will stop leak work if the radiator cap is attached to the overflow tank in a 2004 Dodge Stratus?
It will "work" but is never a good idea. Stop leak not only stops external leaks, but also plugs small internal passages in engines and radiators, which can lead to overheating.
