small radiator leak 850

Brad,

If its a very small leak it is possible to bodge it temporarially.

Some people recommend the following.

1) Clean the surrounding area of the small hole with emery paper.
2) Make sure its clean.
3) Apply some 5 minute epoxy to the leak area, and allow to harden fully.

I know this sounds like a terrible cowboyish bodge, but its supposed to be a temporary fix. Personally I have never tried it. I know it has worked for some people in the past. Up to you if you want to try it - its only another idea for you to play with.

Ziggy
