Does Radiator Stop-Leak Have Side Effects on Cars?

[DeDaniela]

Radiator stop-leak does not have side effects on cars. The basic principle of stop-leak is to utilize the pressure difference inside and outside the leakage area. During the leakage process, adhesive particles move to the gaps or cracks and gradually accumulate to fill them. These particles are bonded together by adhesive, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping the leak. The car radiator is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system, with its primary function being to dissipate heat. Solutions for radiator leaks include: 1. Disassembling the engine to replace the cylinder gasket; 2. Adding a bottle of high-strength radiator stop-leak to the radiator; 3. Placing tobacco leaves inside the radiator; 4. Cutting off the leaking section of the radiator tube; 5. Tightly wrapping the cracked area with adhesive tape or directly replacing the rubber tube with a new one.
