hey guys,

if any of you have expierenced a radiator leak, what do you recommend to seal up the leak? I've tried a couple brands of stop leak, which seem to work for awhile, but eventually quit working. Yeah, I know I'll have to end up buying a new radiator, but I need to save the funds for it and need to get a place to put it in(I'm @ college right now)...so I'm looking for a temporary solution. I know it is cracked, but its hairline right now.

There's a stop leak on the market that's mostly aluminum flakes, I don't remember the brand or manufacturer though. The one time I needed a stop leak, it worked really well. This was years ago, so it may be somewhat difficult to find. Most stop leaks will only hold for a week, maybe 2 if you're lucky. Your best bet is gonna be to go ahead and scrounge up the cash to get a new one and borrow a friends driveway or something. Make sure you have plenty of empty bottles for the old coolant.
