Every couple of months I have a small puddle of coolant below the engine and I can't find where it's coming from. Would it be ok to use some type of coolant stop leak that's on the market. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Funny, I wasn't worried about it either, until it did!I wouldn't be worried about plugging up the system with a stop leak product in a boat engine,
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I wouldn't be worried about plugging up the system with a stop leak product in a boat engine, better to have the leak stopped or slowed down then to let it run dry and overheat the engine.

Yep that's for sure!!!!Capta
According to Forest Gump... Stupid is as Stupid does... You just can't fix stupid.
Oil absorb pads are what we use under both engines and I'd think they were a lot easier to clean up than wet TP.I had a leak like that I couldn't find. Eventually it got worse and it was the engine block pump.
One thing you might try: Put toilet paper around the block. Leaks should quickly stain the paper so you can locate them.

And yet after I'd just posted about how stop leak caused me so much grief, you posted, "I wouldn't be worried about plugging up the system with a stop leak product in a boat engine". Hum.....Yep that's for sure!!!!
And you expect everyone to believe because you had a bad experience using stop leak, everyone else to going to have a problem as well? How naïve of you . These products are used daily all over the world, maybe it was your lack of knowledge in using such products and not the product itself, but one will never know for the lack of info you provided in your first post.And yet after I'd just posted about how stop leak caused me so much grief, you posted, "I wouldn't be worried about plugging up the system with a stop leak product in a boat engine".

The TP isn't to clean, its to locate the source of the leak.Oil absorb pads are what we use under both engines and I'd think they were a lot easier to clean up than wet TP.
I didn't post the "Stupid is as Stupid does" comment. I believe some other members were referring to your post.And you expect everyone to believe because you had a bad experience using stop leak, everyone else to going to have a problem as well?

Oh, and about the "Stupid is as Stupid does" comment, I guess if one doesn't agree with you, they are stupid, fair enough!
