Question Coolant leaking on the drivers side

Hey Gang,


I have a 1997 blazer 4x4


It is leaking coolant on the drivers side and seems to be very low as you follow the radiator down I can see a wet spot under the fitting of he radiator. everything else is dry. the radiator is dry no sign of leak above until you look way down to that last bit of it under that fitting.


Radiator replace in 2008 135,000 miles
Oil cooler lines replace in 2011
Water pump replaced in 2011
lower manifold gaskets replaced in 2011


blazer now has 175,000 miles on it


Also I was wondering if putting in some bars leak if that would work as a quick cheap fix and if so what could it do to other parts of the system I do not want to cost myself more money in the long run doing a quick fix you know??? have any of you used it and what is your experience with it?


my reservoir bottle is still at the same spot it was last time I check it at oil change 4 weeks ago


Thank you in advance to anyone who responds

bars leak will plug up your heater core unless you do exactly as the directions say. DRAIN ALL the anti freeze out, fill with water and bars stop leak, run as described. DRAIN ALL of that out and refill with anti freeze. A lot of work for a rad thats not that expensive
