Or you could take it to them and if the hole isnt a big issue they might just braise it shut. Id steer clear of adding any stop leak shit unless you were stuck on the side of the road somewhere.

Taz_Rx Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 If you want to be a tight arse then go and find a product by permatex called "need it". Its a 2 part epoxy putty thats made for fixing small leaks in radiators and fuel tanks. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
