There's a tiny hole in the top plastic piece of my radiator. It truly is the size of a pinhole, but it does create problems. Would fiberglassing over the hole work for a while? I don't really want to replace the whole radiator for such a little hole. I tried to slow it down a little by putting Gorilla Tape on it, but that didn't help at all. Any other possible ideas to fix it for a while? I don't mind if it's something that has to be re-applied/redone once a month or so.

JB weld makes some weld for plastic.

Personally I drove around with the rad cap loose enough just to keep the fluid from spilling out for more then a yeah with out any problems.

I'd imagine the hole is on the oppsite side of the top radaitor hose?

It's about an inch to the right of the cap
