nawwwww manIf I read this right, it is seeping which before replacing in my own vehicles would try powder stop leak tablets first and put them in and run it for a long time (when I was going to run errands to circulate well) and if it didn't stop seeping change out pump. Also, you might want to check or replace pressure cap on tank.
why put schmoo in your system? The pump-to-block gaskets are 9 bucks on amazon, a gallon of premix coolant runs $15 (or concentrate plus 99 cents of distilled water and you have 2 gallons for the same price) and it's a 15 minute job. The risk/reward here for dumping a clogging agent in your cooling system does NOT exist.
Fix it right. Not worth coming back weeks/months/a year down the road wondering why your rig overheats because the heater core / radiator / thermostat is clogged. Oh and that stuff is abrasive to water pump seals.
