I tried to repair a leak on a transmission line that goes into the radiator and stopped the trans leak but now it is leaking water around the seal. Can I use a sealer around the seal. I tried the white tap but it still leaks. Help, Joe Thanks

I've never had any success with trying to fix plastic-tank radiator cracks / leaks. The glycol from the antifreeze is nearly impossible to clean out; thus the reason glues and sealers won't hold.

You may have to resort to a new radiator.
