car overheating

ok put 50/50 in and i bled the system and made a small mess. drove it for a good 15-20 minutes and it was fine. i checked it for leaking and i think its the radiator. anything i can do besides replace it?

No. You just have to get new one. 1-800-radiator has Koyo oem spec ones delivered to your door. Their prices aren't bad either. I got one for the Si last spring as I didn't have time to find something more exotic for her.

That stuff you pour into the radiator to stop the leaks is bad news. Don't do it.

works good but even better trick is get it good and hot then use egg whites

find the leak and use some high temp liquid gasket for the meantime - dont put that repair radiator crap it will clog eventually is what im thinking she is getting at
