I need to replace the water pump in this Talon but can't do the change out for approx. 4 days. I have been informed that I could use Bar'sLeak as a temporary fix to stop the water pump leak. Do you recommend this and if so, how long would I be able to run the car safely?
Thanks!

If the pump is not working the Bar's leak is not gonna help you-no coolant circulating its okay if its only leaking-but not pumping is a different story. Best way to blow a headgasket or crack the head and block-that will call for major repairs-
