Not sure if this is the right place to post.

If you have a small leak in your radiator, just add approx. 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper for a temporary "HOT" fix. Drive it around to get up to operating temperature, let it cool back down and inspect. You may need to add another teaspoon if the leak is still there.

Too my surprise, Tunny has stopped leaking, no smells, vapors or antifreeze residue.

My brother who is an Auto Mechanic here in Houston passed this information to me. He does not recommend commercial products because they can be harmful to other parts of the engine. There are also some YouTube videos substantiating his opinion.

Just remember to do a full flush when you change out the radiator or have it repaired.

Hopefully this bit of information can help someone else
