      Car ???? Remove hoses and put in a piece of tubing the correct size install two small hose clamps and by pass heater core all together. Then have it removed and either repaired or replaced. All other stuff chemicals and pep Boys stuff is a waste of time. Just fix it .       Bill

        They make a stop Leak,but it does more harm than good.The best is to relace the Heater Core.

        I'm having the same trouble,bluesman is right about the stop leak stuff,it's a waste of money.I picked up a new heater core and having it replaced in my van,(I can't bypass it,seeing that I live in a cold state and winter's on its way).So again like bluesman said,get it fixed right or replace it.
