    Vapor Coming in front of the radiator. Coolant level steel good. Should I put stop leak treatment and which one? Or should go to the shop?

    Thanks

    No to stop leak, just messes up everything else.

    I would never put anything in rad. Find the leak and have it repaired.

    Make sure it’s not a damaged/cut silicone hose. I had one where the cut was underneath the clamp on the bottom side of the hose. Chased that leak for a while. It really looked like it was coming from the Rad itself. Maybe a pressure test would help make sure.

    Good luck
