Not much information to go on! If it is a very slight weep, or only slightly losing coolant within the engine, try using a 'Radiator Sealant'. There are several types, quite cheap to buy. This is a product that usually suspends minute pieces of cork (or similar) in a viscous liquid. You pour it into your radiator expansion tank; top up with coolant and then, fingers crossed, it will seal the leak if small enough. These products also normally lubricate the water pump too. If this remedy doesn't work, more analysis of just where and of what type the leak is, will be needed.

How does liquid nitrogen mand leaking pipes?

It doesn't mend the pipe. The pipe will still have a leak. However, you can use liquid nitrogen to freeze the water in a pipe and create a 'freeze block' which will prevent more liquid from getting to the leak. Once the freeze block is in place, it is much easier to repair the pipe leak.
