Have a pin point radiator leak with a small amount of steam coming from one of the lower fins of the front of the radiator. Could this be filled from the exterior with a plug of some sort? The gunks that I could buy haven't worked in the past.

Hi jreinker,

Patching of radiators does not last and sooner or later you would have to replace it, hoping that you do not damage the engine due to overheating.

Apart from replacing the radiator, the next best option is to get it welded.
