If the stop leak product didn't help, you could try one of two other "temporary" old-time fixes. The first is oatmeal! Yep! Just pour about a cup of raw oatmeal flakes into the radiator.

If that doesn't work, you might also try a couple of raw eggs; just break them open and dump them in the radiator. I'm not saying either WILL work, but in the old days, most mechanic's had a supply of oatmeal and eggs on hand, just in case .... Remember both "fixes" are temporary and not guaranteed; it's always better to repair the problem than throw breakfast at it!! Good luck!

It is time to replace the head gasket and fix it right. Why keep fighting it over and over. If you know the head gasket is leaking, then it is best to fix it now before it becomes a more serious problem and it causes something else to break.

when they get to leaking that bad there's no stop leak additives that will work in them,the only way to stop this from happening and not ruining the car is to have the gaskets replaced on it,there's just no miracle cure for something like that,good luck on it.

Nothing to do but fix it right.....just putting stuff in it is a temporary fix for a permanent problem!!!! Keep it up and it is going to croak!!!!!
