does the metalic suspention radiator stop leak hurt the waterpump and thermostat?

and should the metals in the stop leak and in the tank be similar, in this case copper? The leak is at the solder joint with the tank.

Have the radiator fixed at a radiator shop. You need a torch to solder it.

You can solder the leak yourself with solder and a soldering gun. Or try the stop leak (the powdered kind) pour half in the radiator then run it till your engine is more than warm. Still leaking pour the other half. Make sure you run heater while you are driving it.
