In my past experience, only one type sealant works well on this sort of
leak. This is a small vial of tiny aluminum flakes, kind of 'powdery', which
is poured directly into the cooling system while running and circulating. I
ran one of my former Westies (with the exact same crack you describe!)
across the US twice with the product in the cooling system, very little
coolant loss. Good luck!
