I have a Fordson Major Diesel and i've taken the radiator off to clean it cause it got totally covered in oil. I flushed in out to make sure it was clean inside and left it with water in it, and discovered a small leak somewhere .. on it. Not exactly sure where. How can i fix this ? Anything i can put inside it to fix holes or something

The easiest way to locate the leak is by slightly pressurizing it with air (a vacuum cleaner with the hose on the outlet works good) and spraying the area with soapy water. When the leak is found, a good cleaning and solder is the recommended repair method. If available, any radiator repair shop should fix it reasonably. There are some sealers that you pour into the radiator and they sometimes work ok. They also sometimes fail to seal the leak and to clog the passages in the radiator and engine.
