Quick fix for a leaky radiator...
March 08, 2011
From Hamilton, Ontario:
Another tip for a leaky radiator - your site mentions using an egg in a pinch to plug a leak, but the question is, do you have an egg on hand? Another option is to throw in a handful of pepper. It too will find the hole and plug it, and any leftover pepper will just continue to flow through the system until needed. It is great, and it has kept me going on more than one ocassion. Plus, who doesn't have leftover packets of pepper from the burger joints in their vehicle?
