    All of them probably. As the antifreeze finds the smallest of cracks to escape where water cannot get.

    Why not fix it properly?

    The ones that contain sodium silicate sometimes called "water glass" "liquid glass" or similar, they react with antifreeze to form a jelly that blocks the radiator.

    K seal doesn't if that helps any, you will have to read the label.
