If its not a Rover/Honda V6 engine and the leak isn't too bad use block seal instead. Its designed for much more extreme useage so will probably fix it as well as a new rad would. If its a major leak though nothing will repair it barring replacement.

Put some powder mustard in it will sort it for a while. Or cut the leak out if its a small one and seal it by using a pliers to squeeze the pipes closed.

Don't use "miracle" cures myself. If it coats the radiator enough to seal the leak,what does coating the water jacket in your engine block do?

I always use Barrs Leaks ( I think that is how it is spelt). I put some in to seal leaking heater matrix 3 years ago, still OK.

Maybe. A new radiator is less than $200 from Advance Auto or Auto Zone.

Yes it's really really good but it's only designed for a quick fix and not to be used to permanently solve the problem. Use it but also get the car into a garage to sort the problem out within the next couple of weeks.

depends on how bad the leak and what type of radiator it is if its aluminum sealer should work but some of the plastic ones it may not work

Depends how bad the leak is but it doesn't last for long .An egg works just as well short term!
Try this if it's as good as it says it is it'll be worth the money!
