[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1372168, member: 19880"] OK. I found the leak location. Nothing really visible but I closed off all the openings and pressurized it with air. A soap solution pinpointed the leak. Only one spot as far as I could tell and there doesn't seem to be much obvious physical damage. I can wait and see if there is anyone local who is willing to tackle this. I can try sealing with JB Weld I could try a radiator leak-stop "fix" but that worries me. If I do the JB Weld, should I remove the fins around the spot or count on them to help hold everything in place? Does anybody know if there are concerns about the stop-leak compound plugging up stuff - engine, water pump, radiator? Thinking about using some along with the JB Weld fix - belt AND suspenders! Anybody had any luck with one method or another? Couple of pix of my leak detector...
