Steel Seal Sealer

[libraflo]

I have a friend who has 2 ford Taurus cars, a 2001 and 2004 I think. He has a small leak which is down in an area near the freeze plug on the passenger side. I have seen videos which claim a sealer named steel seal is very effective on small engine coolant leaks. It is very expensive and is only sold through their on line site as far as I can determine. Have any of you guys had any direct experience with it or know someone who has and was it effective?

I have used Metallic Block seal for leaky freeze plugs, it's alot cheaper.

There's some good videos on youtube about steel seal,they clam it has a guarantee or money back.
I have heard Mechanics using Blue Devil stop leak @ the Auto parts store.

I've tried the "steel seal"...it is a crappy product!!!


Never tried metallic Block.

But I have used these one freeze plugs that are kinda hard to explain what they are.....basically, 2 big flat washers with a rubber hardening seal in between them...you put the assembly in the empty freeze plug hole then tighten the nut in the center...squishing the washers ...causing the rubber to swell in diameter...did it a few times...never had one leak.
