Howzit all. I have been having some type of low pressure leak lately. It looks like it's splattering out of the top of my radiator. It dries to a kind of semi transparent white color. It seem slike it's oozing out of the 2 top corners of my radiator. Then along the top of my radiator is semi wet. Anybody had this sort of problem? There's no overheating issues i've just begun to notice it the last 2 times I checked fluids. It's not much just a few splatter spots from each side. Does this sound like a radiator leak? And if so, would one of those radiator stop leak products you just pour into your radiator fix the problem? 01 Frontier V-6.

If it looks like a radiator leak, most likely it is a radiator leak! Check the rad cap to see if the lower seal has swelled up larger than normal, this creates a pressure release problem.
