Be sure that all of your water pump and thermostat housing bolts are tight. I had a couple that were a little loose after I got my motor up and going and it leaked a little. With a twist of a ratchet no more leak.

I havn't used anything on my cars but I have used them on Military vehicles over in Iraq. It saved me a few HMMWV radiators. Not the funnest thing to change.
