You can get a radiator pressure testing kit from just about any auto parts store (some may even let you borrow one). Drop your oil pan and pump up the pressure in the radiator. You will see the coolant leaking. Usually only one or two cylinders will leak. If you want to be a real cheapskate, you could just buy a set of new O-rings and put them in. If the bearings look good you could continue to use the old ones. That MIGHT work.

I would never do a half*** job like that myself, since its almost as much work as doing a proper teardown and rebuild, but if you're real poor, you might get by that way. You'd probably have to do the work yourself, as most professional shops would refuse to do that kind of repair job.
