Your problem is that you or someone else tried a cheap fix with the leak seal. Better to have fixed the leak the right way instead of resorting to leak seal that will just cause more problems down the road.

If you plan on driving it for a while, do a complete cooling system overhaul.

Yeah this is the best advice just do a complete cooling system overhaul. Get all the crud and crap out from the system and get it flowing right again.

Another K seal overheating problem. Fix it right or fix it twice. Looks like people throw in K seal to fix a head gasket problem. Most likely you still have a head gasket problem.
