Steve, What is the material in the BarsLeak? I presume it is doing some kind of coating. My concerns I'd have is that it could coat the radiator in such a way that the radiator couldn't do it's job as well. The other concern would be that it would coat the sensors such that they could not do their jobs either. Clogging is a concern too. How many miles have you driven after you've added this stuff? And did you start using it before or after you started having leaks? And where were the leaks. Hope that's not too many questions. :) Steven sjohnson@pcocd2.intel.com
