Does anybody have any suggestions on how to slow the leaks on a radiator on a 20-40 Rumely Oil Pull WITHOUT removing and rebuilding the whole radiator??? I've heard of remedies such as pepper and eggs if you're dealing with water but as everyone knows, Rumely's use oil. Any help would be appreciated...thanx!!!!

Rumely-Oil Drip: Until you get to the permanent repair make one or two hanging oil catches.
No sense wasting good oil and the EPA will have nothing to write you up on. Good luck.

Been there, tried everything, you just have to break down and fix it. Its not as bad as you think once you get started. Make sure you use the right thickness gasket material, you can end up to wide and it wont all fit back together right. However, Rumelys tend to mark there territory. How bad is the leak?

Sorry but there are no shortcuts when you are dealing with oil. Like the guy said-----fix it. It's not a very pleasant job but there is no other way. Consider yourself fortunate if it's ONLY gastkets that leak. You could very have pinholes in the sections as well from condensed moisture inside the sheets. When it's gasket time you can get them through rumely.com

Dry your eyes, take your finger out of your butt and fix the thing right
