I'm looking for a product that might fix this issue with out replacing the gasket or manifold. Some kind of epoxy or something i could pour into the radiator.

Can't say that I really blame him for wanting to fix it with hoogie sauce. I HATE working on cars/trucks so when the headgasket blew in my '03, I was going to replace it then decided that since it had 140K on it, Pour & Go would work just fine and would not clog my heater core if I ran it hard after pouring in the sauce....24 hours later the leak was sealed and I still had heat in my truck. It lasted over a year....so sometimes it beats spending a weekend where you may or may not run into other issues or spending 1500 on a truck only worth 5K.

Jeff you got lucky with the hoogie sauce. Like stamp said you fix it right the first time. I've seen more problems with additives. They rarely work. If a manifold is leaking, you fix it, period! Companies make millions off of the uninformed public. Would be great if they said, will fix your SUV if this doesn't work! Yeah right. I used one of those snake oils that promised to make you pass smog. Bottom line, I ended up retiring the Lincoln, because it didn't even come close . Their was do many disclaimers from the company when I tried to cash in, not to mention nobody even answering a phone. Bottom line, if it's broke, fix it right first time.
