Looking for some advise ...
I got a Head leaking externally near the oil cooler ( but not the oil cooler) on a ISM Cummins 400hp - 2002 pre egr
Just got done putting in the Bars Stop leak ... Still leaks
It's more of a bubble type blowing , You can see it coming out
Note ... I have no white smoke and engine still cranks over easy
Thanks

Is it coming from the head gasket??
-
I put the stop leak in and followed directions to the - T but was still doing the same level of leak no better - no worse ...
-
My problem area is about a 2-3 inch area where the coolant is spewing from -
I would say you have a blown head gasket IMO
US MARINE Thanks this. -
Electrolisis will eat into a head gasket or liner if you haven't been putting coolant conditioner in your radiatior every now and then. Cummins use to break head bolts too and leak years ago.
Liquid glass might seal it if thats what it is.
The best fix is proper repairs. I have a cold water leak on my truck
thats been that way two or three years, I am waiting till I pull engine to fix.US MARINE Thanks this. -
What's the chances the stop leak cures it ? I've never used it before until today . -
-
The stop leak will not fix it..... If you have a 2-3inch area with coolant coming out you have a good chunk of the gasket missing and the only fix is to put a new gasket in

Liquid Glass ? Is it better than Bars Stop Leak ? If so where do I find it I got a few auto places around ... Autozone , O'Reielys
