No "leak stop" material, regardless of brand, is going to reverse or stop the water pump damage that is causing the leak there. Internal parts are worn, and they will continue to wear until suddenly the pump seizes. When it does, all hell will break loose. If you remove the worn pump, and try to turn it by hand, you'll find that it turns with difficulty compared to a new pump, likely with a grinding feel when it turns. Bearings, shaft, something is damaged. The leak is only a sign of internal wear. Not always I had a fox that was leaking out the weep hole. I used the subie treatment and it stopped the leak, almost a year later I was putting on a timing belt and changed the water pump then. it still wasn't leaking later mark d
