Default Radiator Stop-Leak in 4.6L ?



'94 TBird LX V8, 64k mi.

Rad. started leaking a little last winter, only when temp was
below, say, 30 F.

Rad. is aluminum finned unit in middle, evidently plastic tank
on each end. I'm told that the connection from tank to finned
unit fails to seal as the years go by. Tracing the location of
the leak seems to confirm.

I can't afford new radiator, hoses, etc, and it's generally too
damned cold to work on it anyway.

I have an 11 oz. jug of Bars Leaks Stop Leak (Original Pelletized
Formula) that I bought last year and was afraid to use ...

What'll this stuff do to my cooling etc system(s)? Maybe gum-up
my heater core?

Would you use this or other rad. additive?

Thx,
Puddin'
