You can put an egg in radiator to stop the leak but it's only a temporary fix. Its not a fix forever.

Putting an egg into your radiator is ridiculous.
You could possibly wear out your vehicles water pump (part that circulates your engine coolant) not cool, and not to mention the egg thing sounds like a badddd fix.
You need to be sure that the radiator is leaking, not a hose ect.
Check it out yourself.. or take it to a professional shop/ trained technician

I've never heard of that. Why not just fix it right? Radiators cost less to buy than repair anyway. I don't think that you would want egg running around the inside of your engine, would you? If it'll plug up your radiator, I would think that it would plug up your engine too... Cheaper to fix the radiator than to replace the engine and the radiator, or maybe the whole car.

I've heard of using pepper as a temporary fix. But I've never tried it. Also it depends on the size of the leak, if its a big one, you have to bite the bullet and get it fixed. You probally should anyways.

it was used in the days of very low pressure systems, won't work with modern high pressures. Best to use Bars Leak or block sealer with sodium silicate ( water glass) that's a oldie that still works.
also called egg keep #1 refers to

If you can't properly replace or repair equipment of a motor vehicle it should bear a tag that states NO NOT OPERATE.
This stops some innocent from being killed or injured until
you, an actual menace to America, drive it.

I can work in a pinch but only temporarily. You will need to have the leak reparied for real as soon as possible.

I think you are talking about egg-keep(available at your drugstore) It works sometimes, but possibly will clog your radiator
