Do you happen to remember which stop leak product you used? Did the leak return in the 8 years since then (probably)?


Did you just set up your bilge pump to circulate water into the heater core at the T-junction on the firewall, and grab the return (which I think is down below)?


Thanks,


Kurt
Humm, I dont remember what brand I used but I didn't use the whole bottle, maybe half. I did just pump it in one side and out the other at the firewall and I used hot water. I dont even remember which car I did that to, but I haven't had to deal with the problem again. It's worth a try considering the hassle of taking the heater out
