Engine Cooling problem
1989 Buick Park Avenue 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic ? miles

I was driving down the road today and noticed about 3 or 4 different puddles of antifreeze coming from where the radiator hose. I popped open the hood and a nice person there on our route came and helped me and put some stop leak in the radiator and that helped. I went and purchased another bottle of that so that we have it. It is called Zelcor heavy duty stop leak. How long do you think that stop leak will last before it happens again. Hopefully it doesn't though!!!!!! Will I eventually have to get another radiator or will I have to get that hole repaired? And how long actually will the stop leak work if it is heavy duty? Please get back to me as soon as you can. Thank you!!!!!!
