Quick Radiator Fix?!?!

[HiJinx]

So, I sprung a small leak in my radiator. It looks like the motor tilted forward and slamed the fan into the rad. It's leaking there now. Any ideas for a quick fix so I can get her the 15 miles from work to home?
Also, I'm in need or a rad of any of you have any for cheap.
Thanks,
Bart

Take a pair of pliers and squeeze shut as many cut tubes as you can. The get some black pepper, yea pepper and put a bunch in the radiator, it will swell up in the leaks and get you 10-15 miles, smells like soup though. Keep an eye on how fast your loosing coolant though. Or just call a wrecker.

I have never used it, but a friend of mine used something called JB Weld on his son's radiator and it stopped the leak. It comes in a tube and you mix it like epoxy before you put it on. You should be able to get it at any auto parts store. Again, I haven't used it, but it's supposed to work well.

Ah, yes. good ol JB Weld. That stuff takes a bit to dry though.
Maybe I'll mix both yalls ideas together and get this hoopty box home so I can give her a good talkin to about leavin me stranded...at work of all places. :rolleyes:
Thanks guys.

Try alumaseal, that stuff works great! Like Special K said, JB weld works great also.
