The M I bought had a leak... the previous owner used jb weld. The radiator still leaked even though he used a lot of jb weld. I took a propane torch and solder to it this weekend. I thought it was beyond repair but with some care taken to the amount and placement of the heat I was able to seal a seam about 4 inches long at the top of the radiator. Good luck...its not that hard to do... use a lot of flux... heat the metal around the hole... what you want is for the solder to melt and bleed into the hole or crack. It takes a bit to get used to but you cant mess it up anymore than it is already, and there is a lot of satisfaction for only having $15 in or so after you fixed it.
