    I have a 97 Saturn SL that has a very small leak in the end cap of the
    radiator. I've seen some discussions regarding the radiator fluid some time
    ago. I was wondering If I put in some leak stop if I would be causing more
    harm than good.

    Maybe. Not sure where your leak is or what it looks like. Use GM sealing
    tablets.

    Not a good idea. Repair it correctly or replace it. Replacements are dirt
    cheap.

    The sealant pellets that GM uses as original equipment may help, these can
    stop small leaks without being likely to clog anything else up. The more
    aggressive "stop-leak" products may stop larger leaks but are also more
    likely to clog parts of the system.

    So long as the air is removed from the system and kept out of the system
    it shouldnt clog anything but leaks. Air in the system will cause it to
    set up.
