Have not used it 30 years. I would get one that is not chunky as it may
plug up other stuff. I would replace the core. or at least tear into it to
see what you got.
There is a heater control valve that lets the water flow through the
heater.
If you want to be cheep to you can get it fixed, take the two heater hoses,
unhook them and, get a plastic barbed fitting and bypass it. Don't know
where you live, but winter is almost here.
Good luck.
I think Silver Seal is a popular brand of stop leak.

It feels like coolant, slippery, but no sweet taste. It's the Pentosin
blue, propylene glycol I believe, which may or may not taste sweet like
ethylene glycol does. Both things could be true at the same time, leaking water
from plugged drains and leaking heater core. The steam is pretty dramatic.
My wonder is, why would the heater core get hot if the climate control is
off?
I am very tempted to try stop leak, as much as I hate the idea. Any brand
you prefer?

He’d been cleaning rust and scale from the cooling system when the leak
was noticed, so didn’t involve antifreeze.
