[AT] stop-leak and antifreeze

[Louis]

I have an engine driven air compressor that I bought from George Willer.  It
is a Jaeger with a Continental F124 engine.  The radiator had a leak that I
couldn't get sealed with anything.  The guy who repairs my magnetos, sell JB
products. He gave me a can to try.  I put it in straight water.  It plugged
the leak.  I left it in all this past spring and summer.  A month ago, I put
antifreeze in.  I have used the compressor several times since then.  The
sealer is still holding.  I didn't add any more stop leak when I put the
antifreeze in.

About a month back I posted about a water leak on my combine. Not having
time to pull the engine I "fixed" the leak with K&W block seal. As of now it
is holding. My question is whether or not to put anti-freeze back in it or
only to run water and leave it dry during the winter. The reason I ask is
that I have heard folks say that sealers don't hold up well with
anti-freeze. Anyone here got any experience with this situation?
