I have a radiator leak...and I don't have the money to buy a new one just yet. It only leaks when I first start her up, after she's warmed up, no leak. Any theories?? I've looked under the vehicle, and it's really hard to tell where it's coming from.
Also, I was wondering if anybody out there has ever heard of a 'radiator sealent' of any sorts? If so, what are everyones thoughts on using them?? I plan on either buying or repairing my current radiator before it gets too hot. Any input would be greatly appreciated on any meantime solutions. Thanks in advance!

Just take the radiator out, and bring it to a shop for 50 bucks, theyw ill pressure test it and sotter any leaks, like new again.

Although I have never heard of the egg theory, BARS makes a good radiator sealant, just poor it into your radiator, it is a sivler color, works great on small leaks. Otherwise, do as was said and take it ot a radiator shop, they boiled my old radiator for 37.00 or something like that, this time I just bought a new one, a factory radiator costs about 130 bux.. Not too much.. Consider your options.
