Raditor stop leak?

Ok I just found a spot where a hose is leaking out a lil coolant from my radiator. So i went to discount, but they cant even ORDER the hose I need(Bypass hose)...im like wtf....okkkkkkkk

Anways I havent called Napa yet..but my question is, would it be easier to try some raditor leak stopper..or does that stuff not really work? Anyone have experience with it?

The leak seems to be coming from where its clamped on, so im guessing(hoping) a new hose would fix it if I need to do that.

I've used Bar's stop leak before and it worked, but it's only for minor leaks. Not sure if it's gonna do any good with a leak from a hose

I would not use stop leak for a hose problem. It is best to try to avoid that stuff if you can.

I used it in my daily driver and it stopped the a decent sized leak. But I'm sur eit gums up the inside of your engine.

I'd find it real impressive if it could stop a leak from a hose.... You just gotta replace that thing.
