Repair radiator jacket with vacuum(?) 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Chuck from Fresno on  Wed Sep 21 15:46 CST 2005 [RELATED]

To who may really have a proven answer,

I have a 1997 850 GLT, a slight but annoying antifreeze leak at the krimped seam of the plastic radiator jacket. Location is at the top of the passenger side , next to the hose port hole.
I want a good sequence of actions to correct this leak, so as to avoid tossing hundreds for a radiator.
Can I remove the radiator, clean with a still unknown cleaning/preparation fluid, generate a vacuum internally with a vacuum cleaner, apply a thin glue, from the outside into the location of my leak.
What glue is best? ABS drainpipe cement? PVC acement? 2 part epoxy? Testors model glue? Superglue?
Any reference sites would be appreciatted.
