I personally want to drain the coolant first, add new stuff and top off with that gold stuff. Think it's worth it? He has a very slow leak and this gold stuff will supposedly close the holes or whatever.

This is for an Acura MDX btw. Manual states to not do a complete flush. Just drain and refill.
If he has a 'slow leak', check the cap and make sure it holds pressure. After a couple of 3 years, the caps give out, causing a 'slow leak'. It's not really leaking, it's just filling the overflow tank and dumping it on the ground.

Never knew that. Good to know. He has never had it drained or flushed I believe. 2006 with 250k miles on it haha. I'll grab a new cap tonight and throw that gold stuff in just to be safe.

Next is to figure out the white smoke he randomly gets out of his exhaust when he starts the truck. It's very sporadic.
