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. I would not recommend using stop leak. It will clog your heater core and then you will have more than the radiator as your problem. Fine a new radiator and replace it that is the best advidce i can give you.
For a temporary repair, yes and use as directed.
You will have to determine the source first then we can help you stop it. More info please.
To stop a small coolant leak in the heater core, you can use a commercial radiator sealant or coolant stop leak product, which is designed to seal small leaks by forming a barrier. Ensure the engine is cool before applying the product, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results. However, keep in mind that this is typically a temporary fix, and it's advisable to repair or replace the heater core for a permanent solution. Regularly check coolant levels and monitor for additional leaks.
Answersure does sound like a blown head gasketa better temporary fix than sealant is to put a packet of ordinary straight from the kitchen , ground black pepper in the radiator. this will stop the leak temporarily and will not gum up the water jackets in the engine, when you get the gasket fixed the coolant will be dumped, the pepper will run tight out at the same time. and yes go ahead and laugh but i garantee that it worksAnd no, silicone sealant will not help a blown head gasket. We're talking about containing explosions here. Silicone just won't stand up to that.
Ground Black Pepper will, in deed, stop a small radiator leak. I've done it many times. I've NOT experienced any bad effects from doing this. If (when) leaks persist, it is time for a new radiator.
YOUR WASTING PEPPER. It won't work. Replace the radiator.
Black pepper is a common DIY temporary fix for radiator leaks. You typically need about 1-2 tablespoons of ground black pepper to pour into the radiator to help seal the leak. It is important to note that this is just a temporary solution and you will need to have the radiator properly repaired.
To stop a coolant leak with pepper, you can add finely ground black pepper to the radiator or coolant reservoir. The pepper particles can help seal small leaks by clogging the gaps as the coolant circulates through the system. However, this is a temporary fix and not a substitute for proper repairs, as it may not work on larger leaks or could lead to other issues in the cooling system. Always consult a professional for a permanent solution to coolant leaks.
A good stop leak product for a radiator is the Bar's line of stop leak. It comes in an easy to pour bottle which seeks out leaks and seals them in minutes.

Barr's Stop Leak is a brand of radiator repair chemicals. Barr's Stop Leak is poured in the radiator and the engine is run at an idle for a few minutes. It will repair small leaks like those that happen if a rock strikes the radiator.
