Huge leak, What do I do?
I have a 94 explorer with 109000 miles. It's in good condition except for now. It's leaking huge amounts of antifreeze from the engine. I show it to a friend and he says there is a leak from the engine not the radiator hoses. What do I do? He says it's a moajor job to fix. What am I looking at in cost? I don't want to lose her. Thanks

Change the head gasket. Don't fool around with gimic seal products. look at this web site for many explorer fixes.

There are also freeze plugs in the block that are known to fail like that.
I agree, don't fool around with the liquid seals. Even if they worked, they were never designed to seal a large leak like that. Half the time, even if they seal the leak, they plug up something else in the cooling system.
