Re: top water neck leaks
I usually spray the copper gasket with copper gasket spray before installing it. I would stay away from stop leak and fix it right. Also make sure it's not trickeling down from the upper hose clamp.

Re: top water neck leaks
Where exactly does it leak? I worked on a 1930 that wouldn't quit leaking until I removed the top hose and used my Dremel to grind the parting line smooth. It was just too much of a step at the parting line to seal up.
