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 .

Where do you add radiator Stop Leak to a 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva?

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.
