Recomend stop leak for your leaky radiator???

[MR. BMW]

My radiator has a small leak, I bought alumaseal stop leak, but I haven't put it in yet. Does it work, and do you guys recomend it as a short term fix?
Thanks

I would not, because some of that stuff is going to end up in your block! Just get the radiator replaced or soldered if possible.

I definately would not use that stuff.

The concept is great, and i tried it in my mustangs radiator. That same day when i drove it, the radiator completely went on me. I was in the same situation as you looking for a quick fix, and i found it cheap. If i were you, id buy a new radiator and just replace it. arizona autohaus has good prices, i just replaced mine.
