Sweet Coolant Smell

Sensor was changed this morning, haven't had the chance to see if it was still leaking yet. The shop told me there was a slight leak into cylinder 2, and I once got a cylinder 2 misfire code and smelt coolant. (cleared the code and it has yet to come back)
The car blew a water pump and overheated nearly 38k ago, has been fine until about 1k ago though so I don't think that really had anything to do with it?

If you're going to trade the car go ahead and put the bars leak in it…it's designed especially for head gaskets so what have you got to lose? If it works, good. If it doesn't, you're no worse off.

Well I have no oil/coolant mix, so it isn't that bad, yet.
I was thinking about just throwing this in.

It is suppose to seal the gasket. If it works until I find a new car that's all I need. This car is quickly becoming ****ing junk.

That's exactly where you use it. You put some test fluid in the tester and suck up a given amount of coolant from the coolant tank. If the fluid turns yellow you have HC (combustion gases) leaking into the coolant, ergo a head gasket leak.
