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.

Are pepper and salt soluble?

Although salt and pepper are two very common spices, which we generally consider to be basically similar, nothing could be further from the truth. They are totally different types of substances. They are only similar in appearance. Salt is a mineral, and in fact for the most part, it is a pure compound. What this means is that it contains only one chemical compound, Sodium Chloride. Sodium Chloride is soluble in water. So, for salt, the answer is yes. Pepper, on the other hand, is not a pure substance at all; rather, it consists of finely ground peppercorns, which grow on a pepper plant much like berries. Thus, as organic matter, they contain an astonishing assortment of chemical compounds, proteins, biological structures, fats, minerals, hormones, and all that 'life' requires. Each of these, in turn are composed of less and less complex levels of chemical diversity. In all, there will be thousands of distinct chemical compounds that comprise what we call 'pepper' and which looks so very similar to 'salt.' Each of these compounds will have its own physical and chemical properties, and each may or may not be soluble in water.

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.

Smell of antifreeze but radiator is full?

The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak. I would check for antifreeze dripping onto the exhaust or on the engine block because when it is hot the smell is much more noticeable from the fumes.
