The problem is, that the hole *radiator* is composed of very small passages, which the sealant will just as happily plug. Oh, and your heater matrix, that's full of small passages too. The only thing that radiator sealants are good at, is at wrecking radiators and heater cores long-term, for a short-term fix. Dave Hinz
