Default One of my coolant hoses opened a leak, should I replace or try to plug it up?
I have a 93 civic ex with a b16a...my radiator hose started leaking with a pin sized hole, I'm wondering if I should replace it, or if there is anything that would act as an adequate sealant/plug for the leak? What's your best advice on this people?

Thanks for any help!
