Hairline crack in top of radiator JB Weld safe.
Ok, here goes. My car has been leaking coolant like a Sieve whenever I drive it As it s just about impossible to drive more than 30 mins at a time I live on Maui it hasn t caused any problems yet. Finally I found the culprit.
The top piece of my radiator, the plastic thing about a foot and a half long, half an inch wide, and in inch or 2 tall has a really small hairline crack on it. It s not touching the sides or anything, it s just on the side, about an inch long. I ASSUME that s what causing the problem, as there s a lot of pooling of green liquid all around that lip on the top of the radiator, and no telltale signs of a broken hose.
Now, my question is, what can I do about it. Will a little JB Weld fix it, or should I go hunting at the local junkyard.
Thanks in advance,

Mar 14, 2012 Today I am showing you some really strong glue called JB Weld/Kwik. I have used this in the past to seal a radiator and the seal lasted longer than the car.
