> Oh NO!!... NOT the dreaded timing chain cover COOLANT LEAK! =:O

Just stick a few Gm cooling system tablets in it. Pretty sure they are just fine sawdust.

I have never had the Prestone Super Sealer clog things up. Later on once I drained the coolant, I would get a gell blob come out of the coolant system from the Prestone, but it never clogged anything. I have had the bars stop leak with the metal flakes clog things up.

Holy Magnesium Aluminum Sulfate Batman!... that discontinued mystery McFormulation worked!... for now... <knock wood>

... and the heater stills works, so it didn't clog up the core either!

I will tell you what I tried during a emergency, and it actually worked. Pepper that you sprinkle on your dinner. Took the top off the shaker and poured a good amount into the radiator, the leak stopped in short order. Couldn't believe it, but happy it worked.

Not gonna lie, there's some residue in the bottle pictured above that looks exactly like coarse-ground black pepper!... even after rinsing it with coolant to top-off the radiator, there's still some granules in there--they must be dense!

I wonder if the FTC forced them to stop selling this because it's just overpriced black pepper?...

OK, so now, with da leak-stop "stuff" circ-u-malating around my cooling system, what do I have to be careful of? Does it have to remain in there?

Can I use flush-stuff at hose-change time? Is there anything that will UNdo the leak-plug?

Fill me in, I'm in Fook-Mi territory, and her twin sister Fook-Yu is nowhere to be found!
