Default What did you guys do to solve this
Hey guys, I have a 351 windsor with 2 small coolant leaks. Minor but annoying. They leave a very small drip puddle.

The first one is between the water pump and the backing plate. The space is very limited and I can't fit a wrench to tighten the two bolts. Terrible design to say the least. This leak follows down my lower radiator return hose.
Has anyone been able to tighten these bolts?

The second leak has starting at one of the nylon nails used for attaching the 16" puller fan to my radiator. My radiator is an old brassy.

Will an additive like "Bars Leaks Radiator stop leak" solve my problems. Do you guys recommend an additive? Will they damage other components? By adding these am I trading one problem for another.
