I have an 1986 toyota corolla with 109,000 miles. The one particular thing that I have noticed is that the electronic radiator fans only seems to run when I turn the air conditioner on. I seemed to have a slight leak in the radiator and so I put some leak stoppage additive in the radiator. :D Thank You.

When was the thermostat last changed?

Using stop leak is just making it worst. Your best bet is to have the coolant temperature sensor or a temperature switch check, the fan relays, and the relay control from the computer.
