From: |-|ercules on 6 Jul 2010 00:06 UPDATE Paid $10 for Radiator Stop Leak and it works a charm. I was freakin' amazed it said to run the engine for 15 minutes and after 10 minutes the drip slowed a little bit, and then took 30 seconds between drips and finally stopped right on 15 minutes. Won't be going on the highway though, trade it in soon as I can, not worth $600 for a radiator. Herc
