You can get it from Super Crap Auto. It will fix the problem. I use it on a truck at work that had a annoying slow leak somewhere in the cooling system. Fixed the problem. Its about $60 but it works.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m 4d Gender: Male Posted 28/06/14 03:14 PM Share Posted 28/06/14 03:14 PM I would still retorque the head bolts a bit more than stock settings (yes TTY just do it ) or put studs in. That sort of leak seems to happen under boost rather than just normal driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flush/change it out after so can't really get caught in the system.http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/DynaGrip-Metallic-Seal-Tite-Radiator-Stop-Leak-250mL.aspx?pid=0468#Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
