Jordan gave me some valuable info at the Redneck games when my fan ate my radiator. Used a crap load of pepper to fix the leaks and pinched the tubes. Worked like a champ for about 10 min. until I trashed it again due to shot motor mounts.

ive heard you can drop an eg in there and it will cook and seal up the leaks, i wouldn't do it but would love to have someone else try it

ive done the egg and the pepper bit, the egg worked for about 5 min till it burnt up but the pepper is the best so far

get it fixed right by someone or solder it if you know what you are doing. Kopecki's old 258 radiator was prolly only a one core by the time he had fixed it so many times.

i soldered the radiator on my jeep from where the fan ate it in the wreck, wasn't hard just took a few minutes to do, just have to pressure test it a few times and use some soapyness to check for leaks
