i noticed two weeks ago my 84 190e 2.3 8v that my radiator was leaking at the bottom corner and it leaked whenever i stopped after a drive and whenever my fan turned on during traffic...i put that stop leak stuff that i bought from kragen, it cured it for a week or so, recently i noticed it leaking again...should i try the stop leak again or what should i do...thanks

I don't trust that stop leak stuff.
It can plug up more of your radiator than you
expected.
take it to a radiator shop and have it cleaned and mended. If it is shot
and you can't afford a new one yet, use epoxy glue to patch it. That'll hold
long if you prepare the surface right.
Cheers. p.s. it is not your over flow
tube flowing is it?

You should replace the radiator soon. The side tank is leaking and there is no product that will fix it.
