Don't use any of that stuff anywhere, ever. It usually doesn't even work, and once its in the system its hard to get out. If it's in there when you put the new water pump on, say goodbye to your new water pump because it'll get into the bearings. Same general rule applies for all types of stop leak products (oil, etc.). It took two water pumps and some flushing before the second pump for me to get rid of whatever the previous owner had put in my coolant. It took removing and cleaning the intake manifold, a couple of flushes and oil changes to get rid of the oil stop leak the previous owner had put in it.
