Cummins approved stop leak

The ex Cummins employee mention a coolant stop leak produt that was recomended or approved by Cummins for minor oil cooler leaks. I can't find that post. Would he be kind enough to repost the name of that product or products.
Thanks,

Saw thisWhy is Zerex Super Sealer Better Than the Rest?
Super Sealer is the only stop-leak product approved by Cummins for use in ISX / QSX 15 engines (Cummins Service Tool P/N 5298586, please refer to Cummins TRP T1235 for details). Compared to other stop-leak products on the market:

Ron and all,

I am the guilty party who originally posted the Zerex cooling system sealer post. It was developed for Cummins to use on EGR cooler leaks. Under warranty, the first fix for a cooler leak is to use the Zerex product. If that does not hold, Cummins replaced the EGR cooler, a very expensive job that takes most of a day depending on access conditions which on most oh-highway trucks with the frame rail adjacent made the job a nightmare. Do not know about Freighliner chassis on this. Nevertheless, I would still recommend using the Zerex product above the others. Avoid using products like Bars Leaks as it has a water soluble oil which is NOT good for liner cavitation pitting protection as it interferes with the process.
