its more than likely some type of stop leak. does any of the areas of your engine have a slight sparkle to it? i know alot of stop leak stuff looks like it has metal flakes in it, stuff like bars leak does. most of the time stop leak will turn your engine to sh!t quick. Before you go doing stuff get the rad flushed. Easy at home way is pull off upper tube and lower tube. stick garden hose in upper and let run till you see pure water coming out lower hose. The other guys are right about letting a pro do it if it is gaskets. a lot of times if it is a gasket leak it can create an overflow problem with the coolant tank, the coolant lid should have a release built in so if its under to much pressure it will blow it out to prevent damage, but it would also release a lot of coolant right away.
