Small amount of anti-freeze leaks out from top middle of car engine on the right side looking @ eng. from front of car. Should I have cooling sys pressure checked or would a type of stop leak fix it? What kind of stop leak should I use?

I wouldn't use any stop leak. That crap causes so much more problems. Just have it pressure tested and replace whats leaking. Trust me, I've seen some messed up heads, heater systems and lots of expensive radiator flushes over that garbage.

Have it checked but their is a product called( Bars leaks) its been around for a long time but this stuff could also stop up your engine used car dealers use this stuff to sell a car with a bad leak to get it off the lot and then after a little wile the customer is stuck with the repairs when it happens after a little wile

There is NO SUCH THING AS A FIX IN A CAN.
Get the car to a shop and have them fix the intake leak.

You may have a leaky intake manifold gasket. Get it fixed now before the thing gets worse and runs you into a bunch more money. Don't use the additives, they aren't worth it.

Fix the leak properly. Additives will just buy you problems.

Sound like intake manifold, get it fixed or you will get water in your oil.
