I located this leak is a steady drip coming from a green hose Connected to a black hose located from behind the engine it is dripping from where the 2 hoses meet it is not a horrible leak but definitely needs repaired I was wondering if the GM coolant seal tabs cold stop this leak please help

Are you saying that two hoses are joined together? If so, there must be a union between them. You could try the stop leak, but I would recommend replacing the bad part.

Yea the two hoses are joined the green one is coming directly from the engine and the black is coming out of the green it was dripping from where the 2 meet I decided not to use the seal tabs I tightened up the brackets holding the union of the hoses together as it seemed a Tad loose this may have did the trick but I'm not 100% sure yet as more time to make sure is needed I definitely agree with replacing the hoses if necessary the only problem about that is this is a 96 Cadillac northstar engine and is gonna be a royal pain in the a** to fix these hoses or require a decent little chunk of cash
