I noticed a small leak in the bottom of my raditor. It seems to be leaking on the underside of it on the side where the drain plug is. Should I get it welded to fix it or is there something easier I can try first? Thanks

IMHO I'd just replace the radiator or take it to a credible radiator shop and have them fix it. Don't use that instant seal crap either.

I would have no problem replacing the raditor if it wasnt an expensive becool. Do you think they would just be able to weld the hole or fix it without having to remove the radiator?

Pull it out and take it to a radiator shop, they'll pressure test it and fix it right (with solder). dont take a chance overheating could blow a head gasket and that fix a leak will clog things up!
