CHEVROLET VENTURE

I have a 2002 Chevy Venture minivan, 3.4 liter engine with 55,000 miles. I have a coolant leak in the lower right side of the radiator which I believe is coming from the gasket where the aluminum radiator tubes join with the plastic side. I thought about adding prestone super leak stop to close the leak but I did not know if this type of product will cause problems with my cooling system. Is is safe to add leak stop to the cooling system or will this create a new set of problems?

Thank you

Don't do it!!!!! Fix the leak. The problem with stop leak is isn't isn't too smart, it thinks any small passege inside the motor or t-stat or radiator or heater core is a leak and lugs that up too.
