I have a leak in the plastic part on the top of my radiator, my question is can I use silver seal to plug the hole or will it be a problem with Dexcool antifreeze.

I am thinking the silver solder was intended for metal not plastic. maybe if you had the antifreeze below the crack you could try some kind of plastic cement or super glue. Or this stuff: http://www.caswellplating.com/permatex/ ... prods.html
