What you're looking for is called liquid glass, also water glass. It's actually Sodium silicate. It was used for preserving eggs back before refridgeration was available, and is currently used for cleaning.
The best way to use it is to warm up the machine, drain the cooling system, and then refill it with sodium silicate solution in warm or hot water, run the machine a while, and then shut it down. It will fill in small cracks and stop minor leaks. It will also plug radiators if you just pour the sodium silicate into a full cooling system.
