I believe that stop-leak in a cooling system is a bandaid on a broken leg.

I believe that when the U.S.S. Nautilus (first nuclear-powered submarine) developed a leak in the condenser (non-radioactive) section of the reactor cooling system they put in to port in Seattle, put some enlisted men in civilian clothes, and sent them all over town on a "secret" mission to buy all the stop-leak they could find.
I believe they returned with 140 quarts of the stuff, it worked and they went on to traverse the North Pole submerged... something that had never been done before.
I believe this is a true story.
