Combine radiator leak

[startinghandle]

I think I'd just keep adding a litre of coolant a day if it's only cutting 150 acres

Which is ok until the leak gets worse
Radweld is ok for stopping leaks but it
will restrict flow through tubes as well
The reason I asked if combine has wet liners if there's total loss of coolant and engine overheats the liner seals will be damaged causing coolant to leak into sump

A tiny hole at top of rad ,to lead to total coolant loss ?
Things will have to get a lot worse quick for that to happen.

Chewing gum probably sort it, that sh!t sticks to anything

Plumbers blow lamp and soft solder be better if you can.

Bit of windscreen adhesive probably sort it too but if you plan to solder as a long term fix bare in mind what ever you do to it now will need to be cleaned off!

Something I thought of that no one has mentioned.... engine cooling is improved by system being pressureised and if there is leak pressure as well as coolant is lost
