Its leaking but I cant find out where.. I dumped some stop leak in the radiator and it helped for awhile but its leaking again.. I can tell where the area is that it leaks from but not the specific spot..

You can buy a cheap pressure tester or take it to a shop and they may do it cheap. Its a deal you fasten to the radiator and pump it up like a bike tire pump, then the pressure leaks out where the leak is, just fallow the hiss of air. Also for future ref. Always block off your heater core before you dump in stop leak, it almost always makes problems in there. And I only use stop leak as a LAST resort. Like to get me one more month before I would be replacing a radiator or something. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just throw some rags around you heater core hoses then pinch them with vise grips to block it off, you can buy coolant hose crimp pliers, but there expensive.

Stop leak has its place. But it doesn't know whats a leak, and whats a cooling fin, it just blocks everything! This can lead to no heat, an overheating engine, a ruined water pump........

That is the best one yet. Indeed. I hate seeing guys with their beautiful Goodyear mtrs attached to some ugly new jk that has never left the pavement. I love my beater. It's more fun when your not too worried about scratches or cosmetics.
