so i have a radiator leak coming from the radiator and not the hoses (not a bad leak just dripping). i read this is a common problem and it starts leaking worse when it gets cold outside. is there any stuff to pour in the radiator to kind of stop the leaking?


thanks.

 

theres a few commercial products available, or you can can put an egg in your rad (that is not a joke)

 

Radiator leaking is a common problem?!

 

not common as in it happens to all rangers, but it is a problem that many rangers have.

 

Bar's stop leak will work. The leak will only get worse - it's a crack in the radiator. The egg trick DOES work, temporarily, but do you really want chunks of egg floating around your cooling system, through the heads, through the block, etc?

 

ya i just need it to be a temp fix for now until i save up some more money.

 

+1 for bar's , did the trick on my old range.

 

Tru, thanks for the info on that part. guess ill suck it up and charge a new radiator

 

I'll never trust them quick fixes..


I had a friend use them "Stop leak" from auto zone on his radiator......

2 months later... BAM! He got cancer....
