Question 1

Does it stop leaks from top of Raidator

Accepted Answer

If you are asking about a plastic top tank that is clamped to an aluminum radiator the answer is "maybe"I had three vehicles with very tiny radiator leaks. All from the clamp seam at the sides (these were all Honda radiators) and the stop leak did work on those. One car required three bottles. But an older car with an all brass tank could not be leak stopped with just the stop leak. It did allow the owner to continue to drive the vehicle until he arranged for a real repair. The top and bottom brass tanks were unsoldered from the destroyed core and a new core was soldered in. Creating a brand new radiator. This was in an old 1060's Chrysler.
