I hate that stop leak stuff. Just the thought of that crap flowing in my coolant gives me the heebies.
Like Ken posted, you need to follow the path of the coolant to determine where you're leaking from.
I assume you're finding a puddle under the truck? Is it just wetting the pavement, or is it actually puddling?

no it only does it occasionally and its only a few drops at a time i filled it with water on Friday drove it to Bakersfield on Saturday and it was fine yesterday I noticed it started leaking again. But I cant tell where its coming from, could it be one of the hoses, anybody else have this problem. Thanks guys
