Barsleak, the modern stuff has particulate in it that will plug the radiator and wipe out the water pump seal and shaft.

I've used Barsleaks many times without issue. A little while ago, I took a close look at the pellets in it. THEY ARE CHICKEN $#!T. We have a product here call Dymanic Lifter. It is garden fertiliser made from dried, pelletised chicken manure. I'm sure that is what is in the oil we pour into the cooling system. On reflection, it should work well as it would swell as it absorbed water and seal a leak. I can't see soggy chicken crap causing wear on the shaft or plugging the radiator.
