Apparent radiator leak

[ukdan]

Hi. Just a quick question , the answer of which might stop me running headfirst into halfords and buying any old tat that they want me to buy. I have a SEAT Toledo and its seems to have a leak from the radiator. I've been rolling round on the floor trying to find where its coming from but all i get is water in my ears. The problem being that the radiator is so inaccessible to a mere amateur such as myself. So, the question is...What is the best product i can buy to put into my header bottle that will, hopefully seal the leak?

I personally wouldn't use any,except in emergency or to get me to a place where I could change the radiator.If you use rad.sealer you reduce the cooling and come a hot day stuck in traffic.....£££££££

If you value your car, check it's the rad.and not a hose thats leaking .......price both new and reconditioned...... then change it.

Thanks for the advice Johnny. Looks like i'm going to have to delve a bit deeper to find where it's coming from.
