Hello from Italy.
My 1992 Sidekick has had new head replacement just 2 months ago and it was going fine until I recently noticed some coolant dropping from the car.
These last week has been very cold climate and it went below 0 centigrades at night.
Anyway the coolant visibly drops from the area above the oil filter and above the oil pressure sensor.
I'm writing here to ask what is the best known product to add to the coolant to try and stop/seal this leakage....I don't know how you call these products in USA....sealant? there are too many products of this kind for sale and some I know are useless and others can create blockages.
I know there also is a liquid metal/steel to apply from the outside of block but I would like to try the sealant first and see how it goes.
While googling to find a solution I found out there are products that need to stay in the cooling system and others that must be washed away from the system after the repair.
Any recomandation is welcome, thank you,
Maurizio
