My engine is pinging due to heat.  My radiator hadn't been getting hot
though but now is.  I noticed water leaking under the radiator slowly and
put stop leak in which stopped the leak; however my radiator and engine is
still getting hot. I appreciate any available advice.

Thanks,
CoreyMDean

Corey,

There are lots of reasons an engine would overheat.  Here are some:
Stuck thermostat
Bad radiator cap
Leaking coolant
Clogged radiator passages
Leaking head gasket
Lean fuel/air mixture
Blocked airflow to/from radiator
Worn out fan clutch
Low oil level

If you know you have a coolant leak, I'd start there.  Find it and fix
it.  This may be difficult, now that you've put in "stop leak".
