Unfortunately stop leak is not going to help - basically radiator replacement is the only real cure.. Recommend cooling system pressure test to confirm leak source. Those so called stop leak products are merely snake oil - they all claim to do what it says but in reality it’s just false statements.. (46 + years in the repair business)

Stop leak it's not recommended you could more damage them good stopping the from its tracks it's always the best.

Agree with Pushrod! And what's worse, "stop leak" can make things worse than they already are.
