It's always better to chase down and fix leaks.

You can get pretty good deals on Ebay but I like to shop around using
Google.
I don't think the regular Vanagon vendors sell Freeze-12 but I've been wrong
before... :[    Can't say I recommend the stop leak as I've read good and
bad
about it.   Nothing conclusive.   I'm still trying to find leaks as I go
along and
hopefully will get them stopped soon.
