Anyone can Recommend a Good Cooling System Stop Leak?

Never had much luck with these, well, maybe once. Only have used Bars Leak, I think. I have a truck, engine is tucked back, one of the metal heater hose assemblies has sprung a leak. Only way to get to it is to pull off everthing on top of engine and passenger side. My other cars are not movable in the garage, so would have to do this in the street, Lol, too cold for that. I have seen some expensive brands, Moroso Ceramic, Blue Devil ($60) and a few others. Need something to maybe hold me by until I have a place to do this. Mechanics want several hundred because everything has to be moved. What have you tried that you can recommend? Thanks.

BTW... tried a $10 bottle of Bars Heater Core, did nothing.

I know it's winter but is there anyway to bypass it (or at least for awhile). Good luck

My customers have great luck with Justice Brothers Radiator Stop Leak RSL/2. Holds up to 25 lbs of pressure. Does not contain metallics that can cause clogging with their weight.

If its a metal pipe..its rusted away..nothing is gonna work..bypass it..its all u can do

Texas? Cold? I'm changing the fuel filters on my Massey this morning. 25 above and cloudy. But anyway, if one of your metal core pipes has sprung a leak, you have a definite possibility of a gross failure. I agree with the others, if you can't fix it, bypass it. Now speaking as someone who has done this, get used to driving with your window down and have an ice scraper handy because the inside of the windshield frosts over from your breath. No fun.
