So was the radiator and so was the water pump and the belt tensioner. The only fluid I saw was either in a puddle on the ground or dripping off the bottom portion of my bumper. I have actually used the bars stop leak in the past and I usually like to keep it circulating in my system and it keeps all the seals very pliable and keeps everything lubed up and corrosion free. The leak has stopped hough since adding the bars to the system so maybe it was a small hole somewhere. Eventually it will have to show itself again, but probably no time soon.

Oh God!
Please please please flush that stuff out of your system now! That stuff is almost impossible to get out of your system and will take many, many flushes to remove it, and will probably keep coming back for years to come. In the long run, that stuff is just plain evil. Unless you are using it to stave off a head gasket replacement, and you're driving an old American boat that has nothing like a monovalve, you really ought to stay away from it. It will slowly clog up your cooling system and gradually reduce its heat transfer capabilities as time goes by.
