I forgot to mention that the fluid is foamy. Does that point to a specific component, or just that there’s air in the system from one or more possible components?

No - foamy just means it’s being pumped around prior to leaking out

Don’t use stop leak. It will be cheaper in the long run to have a shop/dealer diagnose the problem then use a stop leak
