My experience with those stop leak products is that they fail quickly, if they seem to work at all, leaving you ultimately with a bigger bill to do not only the repair that they were intended to help you avoid, but also whatever they clotted up in the meantime while you were putting that off.

I wanted to like my Forester more than I did but when the EJ head gaskets failed, the replacement is usually an engine-out job. I think you should save up and get the job done right at the soonest opportunity.
