After my ZC swap I have a few small leaks in the top of my radiator and was wondering if anyone knew of any products that would possibly fix this?

I have heard of some stuff you put in the mix and it fills all holes, anyone know of the product and how well it works? I'm also thinking about jb welding it and see how well that works.

Any other ideas or inpt would be appreciated.

 

I jb-welded my radiator...has held up for over a year

 

have the same problem right now. there is a small hole somewhere cuase i can smell it on the inside of my car and the windows are foggin up. anyone know of any product that will seal the small holes i cannont find?

 

theres this stuff they sell at autozone (or other autoparts place)... i cant remember the name for the life of me but its in a small brown or silver/grey bottle. if you ask them they will know probably. gl

There was this radiator fix stuff I got at a parts store once. It was like green goo with pepper or something in it. That fixed my radiator leak.

I'd suggest this also..

i had a hairline crack on the top of mine, i mixed some epoxy together and filled it in..it worked fine for the time i had it (prolly bout 4-5months)...i eventually ended up with a completely unrelated 6 inch hole in my radiator and had to replace the whole thing (junkyard - $40).

Worst case scenario i say you go take a look at your local pick-n-pull.

Thats a leaking heater core man.

 

I HIGHLY recommend NOT to use that raditor stop leak stuff.. i'm sure others on here might see this and vouch, but that stuff IS designed for domestic's where the water pump are bigger and don't drive on the timing belt. Its been known to sieze water pumps, and when it does it takes ur timing belt with you.. when that happens its time for a new motor.. so PLEASE save yourself the trouble don't be cheap now.. pay the 89 bucks for a new raditor, its better then 4 bucks now, then 500 later for a new motor.. again DO NOT use Raditor STOP leak..

 

I have used a spoon full of regular household peper.... the reg. kind not the fine ground...... this will not stop up the radiator. this works like blood does in your body.... when it is leaking it will clot. just like the peper will in your coolant. just like JonGP4 said the other stuff will stop up either your water pump or your thermostat..... any way no good will come of it. i have worked at a parts store for over a year now and know what works and what doesnt..... *** dont buy the cheap fix in a bottle**** with that said good luck

 

I just used some of the clay that you put on the exterior of the radiator and let dry...basically jb weld. been on there for over 2 years. fine.
