Powdered black pepper will work for that. Pour it into the radiator, then run it to circulate it. I have seen it done with a Cat-engined fire truck radiator that the fan went through at speed. We pinched shut the damaged radiator tubes around the hole in the radiator, put in a half pound of black pepper and then filled it up with water, then drove 70 miles an hour on the Interstate for 2 hours to get the truck the rest of the way to the place where we were having some work done on it. Worked like a charm, but of course then we had to add a radiator to the bill there for the tune of $600.00. I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't actually there to see it in person. The pepper works on the same principle as "bar's Leaks", which, by the way, has been used to stop leaks in nuclear submarines.
