i have a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse spyder gt. i had a small crack in my radiator at the top. i used some radiator sealer and sealed the hole. im thinking about adding a stop leak formula into the radiator but i dont want to mess up anything internally. (any opinions?). i was wondering if there was any specific antifreeze i need to put back into the car.
-thanks!|||"thebax20" has answered your question, all I would add is this; you have already put in one can of leak repair adding another is definitely going to plug up your cooling system real good. Plugged up cooling systems are not a lot of fun.|||Stop leak will plug up the heater core. Advance Auto has cheap radiators that work. Any green antifreeze mixed 50/50 will work. Make sure you run the motor for 15 minutes with the climate control set to the hottest setting and have the blower fan off. You also leave the radiator cap off. This will help purge the air from the cooling system. Make sure the radiator fan cycles once and no more air bubbles come out when you squeeze the upper radiator hose. Put the radiator cap on. Overfill the reservoir about 1" and check the level in the morning when the vehicle is cold. They always seem to suck more coolant in overnight.|||regular green all make and model 50/50 to repair the leak you will have to replace whatever part is leaking if you don't want to ruin the engine
