    Question for the Mechanic types in the room…

    What’s your opinion of K-Seal?
    https://www.kseal.com/uk/products/k-seal

    think I may have a radiator leak, thinking this may be a good temp fix?
    My mechanic says stuff works great, anyone here used it before?

    thanks.

    yes if used right and hole isnt too big, it should seal it. start with cold engine and put some in. them let engine idle and add some now and agin for a while at idle speed. it should stop by an hr tops, and stay sealed unless the crack gets bigger of course. not much you can do with a big crack
