glycol is a great way to find leaks.. it will find leaks that regular water cannot... you need a new rad.

whats up dood.... old trick here but it could be worth a shot. i've heard (and yes i've tried this) that if you put chilli powder in your radiator fluid that it will act as a sealant and it will find the cracks and such and seal em up better than anything.... just an option tho.

pepper works too... but I personally would not want to leave them floating around the engine forever.. as a temp fix, they are fine.. but get a new radiator ASAP
