I have experienced 3 types of cooling system leaks on a variety of cars. The first and most common is bursting hoses. The second is a waterpump that suddenly blew a seal. The third is loose hose clamps.
In each of these cases, the leaks were large enough that a minor stop leak product would not have made a bit of difference. I have had hoses with loose clamps that leaked badly and did not blow off. I have not had a cooling system hose blow off. I have had them blow up. In rush hour traffic. In the middle of a major city. Which was a hard lesson in preventative maintenance.
