Yes, an egg can be used as a temporary fix for a radiator leak. The proteins in the egg can coagulate when heated, potentially sealing small leaks. However, this is only a short-term solution, and it's advisable to get the radiator properly repaired or replaced to prevent further issues.
Yes, that is a very old temporary fix for a radiator with a slight leak. Although it has been shown to actually work, I would not recommend it. If you have a leak, have it repaired and do not use any type stop leak. They are for emergency use only! * The egg has the potential to clog parts of the radiator, reducing it's effectiveness. As said above, the egg is for EMERGENCY and SHORT TERM use only.
caused by leaking heater core not radiator heater it is under the dash hard ot get to if the leak is not to big use radiator stop leak otherwise fix is going to be big bucks
By replacing the radiator. I've seen people use JB Plastic Weld and it only holds up for a few weeks.
The radiator is more than likely plastic and cannot be repaired ..DO NOT use any of those quick fix things like the radiator repair crud .. just take it like a man and replace the radiator............
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...
Replace the hose or use a splice kit for a temporary repair.
replace the line with the appropate size line. It should be faily easy, just hose clamps at each end. Your local auto parts store should have the hose, and it is not very expensive. Be not to get just plain fuel line as it will not work with transmission fluid. The parts store should have transmission line or fuel injection line that is suitable.

Yes, I had to do the same on my 1.9L DOHC 1992 Saturn, I had a small leak in my radiator and can tell you this works well for a while but is not the ultimate fix, my leak keept getting bigger and bigger until y finally had to spend some money and put a new radiator
Yes you can but that is a temporary fix. Some stop leak brands do more damage than good by plugging up everything else like the radiator for example. I recommend "Barr's" brand stop leak if you are going to use one.
You could try, but it will be a temporary fix at best and could plug up the heater core or radiator at the worst.
use leak stop or something. Where is your oil leak?
