Radiator Leak

Post by sjmst »

I see a small amount of coolant coming from the bottom of the radiator on my 82 Spider. Not near any hose as far as I can tell, so I'm thinking it's the radiator.
I plan on replacing it with a new one. Until then, anyone have advice as to use of radiator sealer as a temp fix?

Thanks,

Do NOT use that stuff.
They clog up the coolant passages all the time.

Just replace/repair your radiator.
