Pinhole in my radiator.....?????
The radiator has 3 main parts...the top and bottom "caps" as I would describe them, then the core. In the top "cap" there is a small, tiny hole where it meets the fins along that seam. Its very, very slowly leaking antifreeze and steaming like a mother once the car gets up to temp.
What would your guys' suggestions be? I'm thinking of first using some JB weld just to see if it will hold. I don't want to buy a whole radiator for this small problem, but I fear at some point the seam is going to bust open and my antifreeze is going to spew everywhere, but I'm not too sure of the internal construction of the radiator so I don't really know if thats even possible.
Thanks for any help.

All I know is that it's in a brown bottle

And all I know is that it's little pieces of metal. Thats just what I want floating around in my water pump and stuff.
Give the JB weld a try, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work, you can get a lifetime warranty radiator for like 120 just about anywhere.
