Bar's Leaks Radiator Stop Leak is an easy to carry product for emergency cooling system leak repair. Formulated to seal minor leaks up to 0.9mm in the cooling system. Bar’s Leaks works on plastic, aluminum, and metal radiators in heater cores, engine cooling jacket, gaskets (including head gaskets), and freeze plugs.
Keep Bar's Leaks Radiator Stop Leak Powder ready in your emergency kit or glove box.
When reaching an external leak, it travels between the holes, gaps, and cracks and collects around the outer perimeter of the leak. Then builds inward, effectively sealing the leak. When exposed to air, it expands up to 15% in size, creating a tight seal capable of holding in pressures exceeding the maximum designed for cooling systems. Resulting in a strong seal without clogging your cooling system.
Bar's Leaks Radiator Stop Leak is best installed directly into the radiator or through the upper radiator hose. If no access direct access is available, install in the coolant reservoir and allow more time for the product to circulate within the cooling system.
Run/idle the engine for 15 min.
We recommend to drive/idle for 15 to 30 minutes. If the cooling system leak persists, a second dose may be required or the leak is too large and mechanical repair is needed.
