There is a tool you can put in the inlet. When you apply pressure, a leak will show. If it is internal, the level of the fluid will go down.

It depends on where the leak is and what you mean by patch. If the leak in in the radiator matrix simply putting something over it will not work. There are products which can be added to the coolant as a temporary measure. A radiator can be repaired by brazing or welding but if it has got to the stage where one part is corroded and leaking it is best to change the radiator.
