I've discovered a little leak in my radiator and am not sure what lengths to go to to repair it. My '79 B is squirting a little water/steam out of a (smaller than a) pin hole near the top of the radi

Frank, gooey goop is not the best route here. I've had great success with a small patch of radiator tank metal soldered over the hole (assuming the leak is in the header tank and not the core or a s

Well it's your car but I wouldn't put any of that canned stuff to plug leaks in my radiator. Not even my wifes '90 Cavalier (Piece of XXXX) Liquids don't fix mechanical problems. I'd take it off and

Frank: I have to agree with the postings of others on the list (i.e., do not try this at home...with your car). I have tried the rat-sh*t/molasses stuff and, although it does say on the container tha

I second this. I've had some temporary success with the silver powdery stuff (don't remember the brand name; might be "Stop Leak"), but I had a near-disastrous experience years ago with my Mayflower

Yeah- I would avoid this at all costs. But do as I say, not as I do!!! While in Monterey at the Historics this past August, I noticed seepage out of the top radiator neck (the inlet) and did not have
