Hi I've seen some pro's solder a radiator up, but because of the thinness of the vanes it probably isn't something you might do yourself. However a trip to Pep Boys or Auto Zone will turn up at least three or four product that you pour into your radiator and, unless you have Niagara falls coming out of there, they have a reasonable chance of sealing it from the inside. Personally I have used one called Barr's, but that might not be available in the States. Phil
if it is leaking from the radiator you can crack an egg and put it in the radiator and it will solve your problem
A good stop leak product for a radiator is the Bar's line of stop leak. It comes in an easy to pour bottle which seeks out leaks and seals them in minutes.
change th radiator
stop leak
Barr's Stop Leak is a brand of radiator repair chemicals. Barr's Stop Leak is poured in the radiator and the engine is run at an idle for a few minutes. It will repair small leaks like those that happen if a rock strikes the radiator.
A raw egg in to the tank.

No, it is not bad for your car; most stop leak also includes anti rusting or lubricating agents; but it is also not designed to be a permanent fix. If you need stop leak for either your coolant or oil system, there is obviously some other problem that needs attention, (gaskets/seals) and really should be taken care of within a few months time, even if the stop leak cures the problem. In some cases, the size of the original leak may have a lot to do with the course of action on the repair. In coolant systems, a small leak MIGHT be repaired permanently with a stop leak that contains what looks like tiny balls of solder. Yes, it can be. Radiator stop leak can plug the passages in the radiator, heater core, or engine block.
put radiator sealer in it or crack an egg in it
You can buy one of several products from your local auto parts store that will stop a small leak in the front of the radiator... Now If you are mechanically inclined you can also mark where the hole is at and then drain and remove the radiator.. Once you do this you can clean the area around the pinhole and use a soldering gun and some 60/40 solder to permanantly seal the hole...
IF THE LEAK IS FROM THE RADIATOR, THERE IS NO FIX EXCEPT TRY THE RADIATOR STOP LEAK CANS OF FIX....IF THAT DON'T WORK, GET A NEW RADIATOR. THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Suggest using "Bars Leak" Anything else may plug up your radiator. Yes, but recognize that stop-leak in any form will only stop the problem temporarily. As the radiator heats and cools it also expands and contracts. Sooner or later, the stop-leak will fail. And it will probably be sooner than later.
