my radiator in my 1991 s13 has 2 very small holes right under the cap area (in the pic) they are barely leaking when the engine is running, and even when i am driving. i was wondering if i could use some kind of sealant or bonding stuff so i can patch these very tiny leaks. it would really **** me off if i had to replace the whole radiator, when there are just 2 ting holes. any suggestions or ideas?

it is not my car, but i used it to show where the leaks are coming from. the leak is coming from where the main body of the radiator meets the neck of the overflow/radiator cap area. please help!!!

thanks
glen


ps:
er, forgot to put pic in...

Try JB weld. It may fix it, it may just be temporary. Let it cure for 30 hours.
$5 a tube from lowes with soooo many uses. Fun stuff too.
