i have a1998 pontiac grand prix 151,000 miles,with 3.1 v6 engine, it has a small coolant leak, it's coolant for sure.it seems to be a slow "seeping" coming from or around the water pump only while driving stop & go with ac on in town.temp gauge is ok. no lights coming on, no steam, the engine is not running "hot"
once vehicle warms up. hoses tight, clamps tight.after 20 30 minutes once parked, about a half of a beer can or about, 6-10 oz. of coolant will slowly leak onto the driveway. last summer, did the same thing, & i put 4 of those GM brand, radiator tablets into the radiator. it stopped until now. i had radiator flushed , cleaned at 30,000 miles at pontiac dealer. does it matter if i run the extended life coolant in it. or can i just run a 50/50 mix?
is their "add in" radiator "stop leak" that you would recommend that i could just pour in to the radiator myself?
if so, is this the "kiss of death" for my radiator if i ever want to have the radiator serviced.ido not much$
