Coolant leak issues

[Serusa]

Wait till its warm weather ,than drain off and refill with water and pop in the tub of K seal run it for a week or so with K seal then drain it off refill with antifreeze ..

Oops, thanks for the tip but the k-seal went in early this afternoon. I run the engine for about 45 minutes after pouring it in... it was idling a bit rough initially but soon settled. I let the engine cool and then drove it for about 1.5 hours and (touch wood) the coolant level hasn't dropped and it's running smoothly.

Yes thats good news .Keep your eye on the temp gauge . And come the warm weather i would drain off all the coolant , fill it with clean water drain again .Untill you see clean water drain out .Then re fill with inhibitor = antifreeze . The airline crack in the head will be closed up with K seal by then .
