Well, here is my suggestion for what it is worth....
First off, I >>>>HATE<<<<< stop leak. No matter what the brand. The whole "mechanic in a can" thing does not set well with me for a lot of reasons. Mostly, it is not fixing the problem and can cause bigger problems later on.
Next, for leak detection, I would first hose off and dry as much as possibly around the wet areas. Then add some dye to the radiator. That will pinpoint the leak quite precisely.
Next, if it turns out to be the radiator, I would take it off and take it to Reiters in Emmaus. He has an old fashioned radiator shop, and he fixes (repeat FIXES) radiators the old fashioned way. The RIGHT way.
If it turns out to be something else like a hose or a water pump, then that is another story. The sure way to tell is with a pressure test. Auto Zone will loan you a tester for free. You just need to leave a refundable deposit for it which will be returned in its entirety when you return the tool. Feel free to email or call me on this one. I'm close enough to stop by and help if you get stuck.
