I have a small leak in my radiator and was wanting to use stop leak to stop the leak, but i was wondering if i put it in the overflow because the radiator does not have a cap on it so you can take it off and pour it in there.

no stop leak, it clogs up the system with goo and causes more issues. besides, it rarely works and if it does is very temporary.

Get it fixed correctly
