Head gasket
I may have a small leaking head gasket in my 460. I found a small amount of oil floating in my radiator. Although it could also be trans fluid. It doesn't smoke but does overheat.
Would anyone recommend using those over the counter seal products?

No on the over the counter seal products .. When the motor is up to operating temp if you grab the upper radiator hose with a rag being careful of the fan blade squeeze the hose to see if there is excessive pressure build up .. Any air bubbles in the top of the radiator with cap off and motor running ?
