How can tell if the auto shop used stop leak in my radiator? They said they no, but I think they did.?

I had my water pump replaced becuase it was leaking and when I went to pick up the car the radiator was leaking but it was not when I droped it off. So I left it again and the shop is trying to tell me the coolant the was coming from where they spilled


I doubt any experienced shop would use one of the stop leak products. Especially if they put in a water pump and are liable for it. It will ruin the seals. It may have just been spilled down the back of the radiator when filling.
