Thanks for the tip. I got some of the bars leak. The regular stuff, because I don't think the saab radiator is all aluminum.
I just remembered that the coolant hasn't been flushed/filled since the rebuild. This is probably about 3 years and 60k miles. I remember when the dubious guys that rebuilt the engine returned it the first time they said there was some sort of "coolant conditioner" in the coolant which caused it to be a brown color.
Since they had to rebuild it twice due to failure, I'm not sure what went around the second time. I think the current fluid is blue, but I guess I'll have to check.
So, I'm wondering if I should first flush/fill this thing and then add the stop leak. If it's not that important to flush/fill at this time, then I'd rather not since I gotta drag to the dealership and buy the special saab coolant for all that.
