My opinion? If Bar's Leaks can plug a blown head gasket, it can certainly plug oil passages. And that is not a good thing... The only time I'd use that stuff is if I knew I was going to be junking the rig, but I still neeeeeeeded to get a few more miles out of it first.

Short term idea; would be to have some oatmeal for breakfast and then pour the rest of the container into your radiator. Keep the rpm's down.
Long term
From the looks of the previous posts toss the Element. Get the Toyletta.

I had a couple colorado's in the fleet I had to manage and they were really uncomforable and tinny. After I drove the first one I offloaded those things as fast as possible. Also, they don't seem heavy enough to pull a 22' safely.

If its rusty I'd drop it like a bad habit. If not I would consider fixing it pending the likelihood of being able pay for a new one.

I'm very happy with my Highlander and it tows my cd22 great. Just pulled it from Wisconsin to Seattle this past summer and had no problems with the high passes out of Yellowstone np.

The new Colorado has the highest power ratings in it's class. Tow rating is for 7000 pounds when properly equipped. Delete This?

I'm towing my 16 in Fl with an 89 Chevy Celebrity wagon that has 215K. I picked my 16 up in Mississippi with this car as well. I don't go over 60 and take off slow and I'm careful with everything. I changed the transmission fluid when I came back from Mississippi. If moneys no object to Hell with it and get something newer because I ain't seen no Hearses with luggage racks if you know what I mean. Another nice thing about older cars, no one will look to see if there is any thing worth taking out.

Well, if you had a newer boat I'd say sell the truck, sell the boat, put a hitch on the Element and buy a 16 footer. But,even I wouldn't consider selling such a beautiful restored 82 Classic. So, I vote for option 2. Scrap (or sell) the Chevy, sell the Element, and buy a brand new (or very late model, low milage) daily driver that can also tow. By the way, I think those Honda Elements get top dollar.
