I do the same with Bars Heavy Duty in the bottle with the pellets.

Subject: Re: Subaru Cooling System Leak-Stop - Has anyone tried it?

Hey Ric,

I've used the "Subaru Cooling System Conditioner" in
my van (2 bottles) and have had success stopping
the leak I had at the top of the passenger side
cylinder nuts.  I've driven across the country a
couple of times and have had absolutely no problems.

When you add this stuff be sure to do it when the
engine is overnight cold.  Then displace some of
the coolant out of the expansion tank.  Then add
one bottle of the conditioner.  Then run the engine
until the thermostat just starts to open.  Then shut
the engine off.  That way you don't get this stuff
clogging up the radiator.

I usually wait a day to run the van to let the goop
settle.  I'll add another bottle if it still leaks.

I got this procedure from Dennis Haines.....
