I have a very very small coolant leak, it takes weeks for any to leak out. The radiator sealant I got say to run an high idle after pouring the radiator sealant into radiator until the leak is sealed. How do I know when a leak that small is sealed?

good dont is it thr rad for sure that is leaking
02-16-2013
Yeah don't use any additives unless ur selling or just don't care about it. It'll gum up and plug coolant passages.. Heater core would be a big one.
I'd just put a new radiator in they arent that expensive

ok I wont use it. It was free anyways, I got it a year ago for my last car, but never end up using it. I'll just add the 50/50 coolant I bought, to replace the water I added that has leaked out/evaporated. I just been adding water since I bought the car few months ago. I got the real deal now.Thanks guys!

my car also has a leak some where but i cant find it i just add a quart every month or so
02-16-2013
Alright I'll do the same, I even had it pressure tested and came back with no leaks,my coolant magically disappears slowly over a month or so. I guess that my only option. Thank you

have you repaced lim gaskets?
02-16-2013
Nope, someone said the same thing to me about the LIM gasket as well. I just bought the GP 3 months ago. I had a Grand AM GT ...is the LIM cheap to fix? Is it something a noob can do or do I have to have a shop do it?
02-16-2013
a person with basic knowledge can do it. the kit is like 90 bucks at advance but i comes with everything you need except the supercharger gasket
02-16-2013
I can probably find someone to do it for me. $90 is not bad at all. How do I know its the LIM for sure? If I need one I pick it up when I get my tax return, I got to go to AZ to get a oxygen sensor and a air flow sensor as well.

there is a video on how to do it first go out to your car and look in between the head and lim if you see black plastic gaskets replace them if theres metal its been done before
02-16-2013
If your lim gasket is black plastic it needs changed. Look at the lim and head where they meet
02-16-2013
Where the head and lim?I am that car illiterate
02-16-2013
are you gt or gtp
02-16-2013
GT, wish I was a GTP
02-16-2013

02-16-2013
