Temporary Fixes:

Radiator Sealant: A stop-leak product can help temporarily seal minor leaks. It’s a short-term solution that can help prevent further damage until you can get a permanent fix.
Epoxy o r Sealant Tape: For minor cracks, using high-temperature epoxy o r sealant tape on the damaged area can prevent coolant from escaping.
Duct Tape Emergency: In a pinch, wrapping the damaged area tightly with duct tape can temporarily slow down the leak, though this is not recommended as a long-term solution.
