No, You do not need anything but a 50/50 mix of Prestone and distilled water (not tap water).

Maybe some Water Wetter but that is it. I am usually hesitant to put anything else in the mix because I am paranoid that it might clog the radiator.

You don't NEED to. However, GM's vegetable tablets are awesome. They work very well on minor leaks, and have absolutely no ill effects. And they only cost a couple bucks.

I'd fix whatever is leaking. I don't want it to blow out when I am 200 miles away from home. Been there, done that.
