Code 1299 means: Cylinder Head Over Temperature Protection Active. (Caused by the fact that the engine is overheating)
Meaning that the computer "sees" that the cylinder head is overheating and activates a fail-safe cooling strategy.
Personally I don't recommend using those coolant seal liquids (stop-leak and the like). It is better in the long run to locate and repair the leak manually. A Cooling
System Pressure Test is a reliable way to locate the leak. I've used it countless times and 9 out of 10 times I've been able to locate the leak.
