It's a small hole, i was drilling something but thats not important. Would it be ok to solder the hole, would solder withstand the temperatures? What can I do as a quick fix!? it's my only car!

no.. solder will not work. You can try jb weld, and it should hold up depending on how big the hole is. Eventually, i think you will have to get a new radiator. Might as well get it now. They're only bout $100.. try ebay.

whats jb weld? the hole is so small, one of the cooling fins must have made it when it was ripped out, i will take a picture as soon as i take it out, removing the hoses is a pain, any tips on that?

I'll cut ya!

you can get a used rad on ebay for like $30, bout the same price from a junkyard.. Just do that

JB weld shouldnt really be used longterm, not on something like that.

ooo.. if the hole was on the top of the radiator, i would use jb weld, but on that, i would not. Just get a NEW radiator, run only bout $100.
