I got a pinhole leek in the bottom pan of my DC-3 radiator. Any one have a cheep solutions to hold for a few months until I can get around to fixing it correctly.

Thanks

The bottom of the Case DC radiator is a cast iron bottom. It can be removed and brazed. I fixed the one in my DC by brazing and after that used epoxy on the inside. Mine was broken completly in half from freezing.

On our 1980 Ford F250 the radiator was leaking around the top of the fins. I was told to take and drop egg whites (no yellow!) into the radiator to fix it. I was told it would fix it because the egg whites would move to the hole and the heat of the water would harden them in the hole filling the whole in. This was supposed to be how the army used to fix the radiators in the old jeeps when they didn't have a new radiator on hand. Also do not use the radiator fix (in a bottle or can) all that seems to do is cause a bigger leak and a brown mess in the radiator. The egg whites worked for a while until another leak sprang up somewhere else, (the radiator was rotten to bad), ended up just replacing the radiator. My 2 cents worth. Adam Davis

If the material around the hole is good then a small sheet metal (self tapping) screw with a piece of gasket (rubber or other) used as a washer will hold for some time. Just screw it in snug, don't over torque it.
