Re: radiator leak!!!

For a Temp Fix you Can Drop a egg in there...
or Your local Auto store has stuff call Stop leak.

But probably more recomended to Replace it..

Re: radiator leak!!!

some stop leak can be really bad for hoses and seals....

if the leak is right on one of the tubes you can just pinch the tube with a pair of needle nose pliers , i ran a radiator like that for a year on a street bike i had

Re: radiator leak!!!

You can try pepper if its not that big, or jb weld


jb weld helped hold my radiator on i had a zip tie through the middle of the radiator and braced by jb weld around the hole

Re: radiator leak!!!

if you pinch it off just remember it is aluminum so you don't have to squeeze very hard because you can always squeeze it a little more if it leaks but if you over do it you could rip the aluminum so go easy
