I've run at least five units of Bars Leak (at first it came in a dry tubular form and later in a liquid) through my Syncro and a couple through my Carat and haven't experienced any problems yet. In the Syncro, I was trying to stop what I thought was a head leak, but found out it was a short hose at the water pump. Whenever the leak occurred, I would add a unit of Bars Leak and it would stop for several months, then we would repeat the procedure. After I discovered the real problem and replaced the hose, I've had no more water loss. 195K On the Carat, it was a leak in the rear heater core, problem solved, at least for the last three years. 152K
