We fix the radiator but it was a use one . I took it to a shop they said they would have to put it on a lift to see the problem because it was not visible. Can you please tell me what could be the causes and if there is a quick fix like some type of sealant fluid that I could buy and where would I put it. I don't want to keep spending money on this car it was a gift from my uncle and was meant to be used for short distance drives only because he knew it had problems. I don't plan on keeping this car for more then 6 mo. Thank you for your time.

Ok, you don't state the exact problem, but I take it that you have or still have a coolant leak. If that is the case you can tray adding some Bars Leak for a temp fix which in my experience will last a year or two. If other coolant related problem please post details of your problem.
