Hey guys, so for some reason I am losing a lot of my coolant really quickly. I tried looking under the hood and under the car and can't find where the leak is coming from. Im not sure what the problem is or how i can fix it. When I went to AutoZone, one of the employees suggested I should try the Bar's heavy duty pelletized radiator stop leak. here is the link for it. (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=239133_0_0_).

Has anyone ever used this before or can tell me what else I can do about it?

Thanks.

I wouldn't put ANY product in the radiator until you determine where the leak is. If you're seeing no evidence of a leak (not just a puddle on the ground but also trails of fluid on the engine, chassis, etc) then it has to be going somewhere and my fear is a head gasket leak. If you're not seeing oil in the coolant reservoir, water in your oil, strange temperature swings (the engine, silly; not YOU), odd clouds of steam out the tailpipe then you can probably rule out the head gasket.

One thing is sure; find the source before you go putting something in the engine or radiator that may result in unneccessary replacement. And if it IS a head gasket, I wouldn't rely on that product. I'd replace the gaskets.

Take the car to the dealer if you are not mechanical inclined...those Autozone monkeys will destroy your car.

Sounds like possible head gasket
