The other day i noticed a little green puddle under the car, i got some Bars stop leak and added it to the radiator (cold of course). I recapped the radiator, made sure the cap was on correctly. Now i get a gurgling noise when i first accelerate when the engine is cold. it never makes the noise when warm.
I took this video with the engine at 200 degrees with the heat on full, is this something to be concerned about or is it just working out the air that got into it when i uncapped the radiator?

Well it is working air out and hopefully it's just from being opened and topped off. However, it is probably best to find the source of that leak because the Bars Stop Leak won't help if, for instance, the coolant elbow grenades.

it appears to have stopped the leak, no more puddle under the car, i was just curious if it needed to be bled simply from opening the rad cap.

It'll work the air out of the system on its own. Just keep an eye on the overflow level.

Bars leak is awful stuff it'll gunk up your system. I'd flush the coolant out now.
