It might cure the leak...temporarily but from my own experience, and that of others, it's very likely to bung up the heater matrix and leake you with bugger all heating. Which is fine in death valley but a pain elsewhere. Get a new rad.

Big Rich.

P.S. If the leak is obvious and accessible, i've used fibreglass resin to effect a temporary repair in the past and it's still going strong 3 years on.
