Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: bars leak for lower intake external leak, bars leak, dependable transportation

Question
I have a 1998 Olds eighty eight and recently noticed an external leak from the rear corners of the lower intake....I know this is a common problem with GM and I want to sell this car rather than pay for an expensive lower intake. The leak is not real bad.

What I was wondering is if I add bars leak to the radiator how long will this last. I have heard this stuff clogs up your radiator, heater core and water pump. Is this true? I can't see that company selling this stuff since 1947 if it does all that.

Answer
Hi Steve,
Rather than take the chance of plugging up the system for some unsuspecting buyer, why not sell it with the leak.
You don't need to advertise that the leak exists...the prospective buyer should be able to see for themselves what they are getting.
But you won't feel like you disguised the problem and took advantage of somebody, who may be a college girl on a tight budget already, hoping for some dependable transportation.
As to weather the stuff works?? I can't say. I don't use it. I fix the leak.

Good luck,
Van
