Assuming you are referring to a car radiator, there are of course a variety of manufactures that make a "stop leak" out there and depending on how bad the leak is ultimately I would advise taking it to a qualified mechanic (if finances permit) and have the leak fixed professionally. Alot of these things on the market to stop a radiator leak are only temporary at best. They weren't meant to be a permanent fix. Reason being, the radiator builds up alot of heat to the point that any kind of putty type stuff or even one that you put directly in the radiator that is suppose to plug up the leak from the inside will eventually give out due to the amount heat. Basic science: Heat expands things. Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but .

I have used radiator stop leak before in my 1996 Olds Achieva SC with the V6. I put it directly into the coolant resovor. It went in fine for me. This did not give me much help though.

Yes. Suggest using "Bars Leak" Anything else may plug up your radiator. Yes, but recognize that stop-leak in any form will only stop the problem temporarily. As the radiator heats and cools it also expands and contracts. Sooner or later, the stop-leak will fail. And it will probably be sooner than later.
