Just finished a conversation with a radiator repairman about this. He said that he thinks that the Bars Leak has changed formula. Anymore, he said that he can tell if it had been used before the rad came to his shop. After he has let the rad soak in the tank, he takes a pressure wand to flush it out. If the Bars Leak has been used, long strips of brown crap come shooting out. The Bars Leak has actually coated every tube on the inside. Said that the Bars Leak didn't used to do that. He uses a sealer that is made of ground cotton seeds and some other binders. Said it works like a charm and doesn't plug rad, heater core, etc. I've used about all the stop leak products with limited success. Not sure what I'd do in your situation. On one hand, would be easy to pull rad and get it fixed. But as others have said, could spring another seep by the time you get it hoisted up on the combine. On the other, even easier just to dump a bottle of your favorite potion in there and go on. Could just keep an extra bottle in the cab if needed again in the field.
