Ground Black Pepper will, in deed, stop a small radiator leak. I've done it many times. I've NOT experienced any bad effects from doing this. If (when) leaks persist, it is time for a new radiator.

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.
