3.1 engine leaking Sign In

I got a 1997 oldsmobile cutless supreme with a 3.1 and i have a coolant leak the gauage goes almost to H then drops i get no heat until the gauage drops. Ran stop leak through twice and it only happens with its running and warm. after its turned off it drips for a bit and then stops. I got only 126K on the engine I'm wondering if i need a gasket to fix the problem if so which one.

Your going to have a whole lot more problems after adding that stop leak then what you started with. You just need to pressure test the system, find the leak and repair it. Flush as much of that sealer out that you can but you have probably already plugged up your radiator and heater core with it.
