Can you put a stop leak in coolant to fix a leaky heater core in a 2000 blazer?
Yes you can but that is a temporary fix. Some stop leak brands do more damage than good by plugging up everything else like the radiator for example. I recommend "Barr's" brand stop leak if you are going to use one.
What is wrong with your 1999 Honda Accord you always put Coolant every week?
You have a leak. If you cannot see any external leak anywhere, then it is internal. That would mean you have a blown head gasket. If so that is very serious, and severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive this vehicle. STOP driving this car until you have this repaired.

If you can see no external leak, then suspect an internal leak as in a Blown Head Gasket. This is very serious and severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive the car. Get this repaired ASAP, and stop driving the car. You do not let us know if you see coolant on the ground or on the engine. It's hard to diagnose with out a little more info.

Serious engine damage will occur if you do not have this repaired immediately.
