Default Leaky Radiator '86 740 GLE

Hey Folks,

My '86 740 GLE radiator seems to be leaking, but not all of the time. Does anyone recommend Barr's Stop Leak? Also, this may sound dumb, but where is the radiator cap located? Can't seem to locate it. Thanks for your help.

I have used Barr's Stop Leak (grey plastic bottle). It works best for small leaks. Radiator leaks (especially with a plastic radiator) often require replacement especially if the leak is on a seam. You might find a decent one for cheap at the junkyard. Cap is probably on the expansion tank.
