How should I go about a head bolt and freeze plug leaking coolant? should I just replace the head bolt and freeze plug and put some type of sealer on the bolt and hope for the best or what? Because I do not have a lot of funds to throw towards it right now so if anyone can shoot some ideas my way I would appreciate it.

My uncle tried Blue Devil he said it worked on a leaking head gasket. We have not tried their other products but judging by the results my uncle got it should work pretty good.

Here it is an Amzon for $24.00 US:

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.
