My 2002 dodge Stratus started leaking anifreeze a few weeks ago. When it was low on antifreeze, the heater would not blow hot air. When we added antifreeze the heater worked fine. We recently added some stop leak for the radiator and antifreeze and now the heater is blowing nothing but cold air. Before we added this, the heat gauge would get a little warm and now it seems fine. What needs to be fixed and how much should this cost?

It sounds like the product you used may have plugged the heater core. Remove the heater core hoses and see if you can force water through the core. Just use your garden hose.

Let me know what you find.
