Some have posted that >it might clog the radiator works, but one of the other posters Steve T.??? >said he's gotten mucho miles after with no trouble. I have an extremely slight leak (about a half a cup every week) that neither I, nor two dealers, nor an independant mechanic, can find (even after pulling the engine for a new clutch, the source of the leak is still a mystery). Origianlly, the leak was about twice as bad, ~1 cup per week, but I decided to try the Barrs stuff, and it slowed the leak way down. I've been tempted to add another treatment, but have decided not to, based on the other listmembers recommendations. BTW, all of the aforementioned experts have ensured me that it's NOT the heads leaking (the gaskets have already been replaced, about 22K miles ago...caps have been pressure-tested, hoses are OK, no leaks around the coolant level sensor, etc, etc, blah, blah...
