My car has had a slow coolant leak for a while and I have to refill it about 1 time a week which doesn't bother me but today after school I started the p.o.s and it sounded like the engine was gargling water when I got home from school (less then a 2 mile drive) I went to open the hood but before I did I saw a 6 inch wide puddle of coolant and the car had been parked for about a minute I have an idea of where the leak is coming from and have pictures but dont know how to post them and have no clue how to fix the leak I need some help guys
 






if the tank cracked on the side of the rad, nothing will fix that leak. or slow it down.

dry it up all nice, run it and watch for the leak source. pin point where its coming from.
 
I have searched many times and thats the most accurate spot possible that I've seen for a leak. And yes something that you pour into the radiator
 


i wouldn't... That definitely will not stop an external leak.

quit beating around the bush and fix it properly before you **** something else up pouring **** in there
