Hello new to the forum . I am trying to solve my own problems but this is one I have had and have had good results. I use jb weld. clean area around hole and thru the area right around hole. I take and pack the jb weld around leak until it exits the other side. So as to encase the core section leaking.If in a hurry use a hair dryer to cure it quicker. Using a thin strip of metal like a hacksaw to apply it helps. I have had my case 420bd leak free for almost 3 years and they were large leaks from working in the woods . good luck

"Gunk" makes a rad stop leak that I have used for very small leaves. A rad repair shop actually told me about it. I don't like to use that if I don't have to,but if its so small its worth trying so you don't have to take it all apart and run the risk of leaking even more. If you want I can get you the full name of it. Its down at the shop. let me know.

I took mine to a radiator repair shop. It needed major work, but if the repair man is any good he can fix about anything.

I dont know what a radiator for a 47 SC costs, but I got a basically useless radiator fixed to tip top shape for 20 bucks.

I;ve repaired them by opening the hole up with an ice pick,sanding inside as well as possible,then soldering . The problem with that is,if you're not careful,you'll create a bigger hole than if you had left it alone. I don't like using Stop-leak,but it is an option.

How well does Stop Leak work on a non pressurized system?

I tried it on mine before I found out how bad the leak was, (top neck had broken almost all of the way off) of course there was no way any sort of stop leak could have fixed that one.

I've used stop leak on nonpressurized systems without any problems.
There is a cheaper alternative and it really works. Pour in a can of common black pepper.
