A common point of failure on radiators is the cap itself.  Radiator caps are designed to allow excess pressure to escape to avoid damage to the coolant system, but over time they can become oxidized, full of grime, or just worn out.  To replace your radiator cap, simply wait for the engine to cool completely and twist the old cap off.  Screw the replacement on in its place.   You can purchase replacement radiator caps at your local auto parts store. Make sure to ask for a cap that fits your vehicle’s exact year, make and model. Commercial leak sealants are sold at most auto parts stores and can help resolve a radiator leak if you’re in a bind.  However, it’s important to note that these leak sealants aren’t designed to be permanent repairs.  To use a leak sealant, simply open the radiator cap on a cool engine and pour it in.  Top off the radiator with a coolant and water mixture if it is low as a result of the leak   You will likely still need to locate and repair the leak, or replace the radiator after using a leak sealant. Leak sealant is a great option if you need to get your vehicle home or to a repair facility. If you are able to locate a crack in your radiator, you may be able to repair it using an epoxy.  First clean the area around the crack thoroughly, as any dirt or grease may prevent the epoxy from establishing a seal.  Use a spray on brake cleaner and a rag to remove any stuck on grime, then allow the cleaned area to dry completely.  Use your hands to knead the epoxy until it becomes malleable enough for you to spread it out over the entire crack.  Allow the epoxy to set overnight before starting the vehicle. Radiator epoxy can be purchased at most auto parts stores. If there is a crack in your radiator, it is highly likely that you may need to purchase a replacement for it.  To replace your radiator, drain all of the fluids from it and disconnect the hoses leading into and out of the radiator.  Unbolt the brackets that hold the radiator in place and slide it up and out of the front of your vehicle.  Different vehicles will have different mounting hardware, but it’s common for radiators to be held in place by four to six bolts.  Slide the new radiator into place and secure it using the same bolts.  You may have to remove body or trim panels to access the radiator bolts or to remove the radiator from the vehicle. You can purchase a new radiator from the vehicle manufacturer or most auto parts stores.

Your best bet is to find a repair kit made by the manufacturer of your car. Otherwise, compare several kits to your upholstery to find the best color match. Use mild soap and a damp rag to clean the leather. Remove crumbs, dust, dirt, and grime by scrubbing the seat gently. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding. If the edges of the tear curl outward or have threads hanging from them, use a pair of scissors to trim them off. Slip a piece of backing cloth into the hole and then slide it beneath the tear. Put a small amount of the included glue on the edges of the tear so they stick to the cloth. Allow the glue to dry completely. Use a palette knife to spread the leather filler onto the backing cloth between the edges of the tear. Allow each layer to dry before applying another. Keep building up the filler until it slightly overlaps the leather seat. Once the filler is completely dry, use a fine-grit sanding block to sand down the top layer. Stop when the filler is even with the rest of the leather. Do your best not to sand too much of the surrounding leather. A sanding block, rather than sand paper, will give you more control over the area. Use a slightly damp, clean cloth, to remove any dust or debris leftover from the sanding process. Allow the seat to dry before moving on. Use a clean cloth to rub the colorant onto the area where you applied filler. Build up several layers if necessary, allowing each layer to dry fully, until the color matches the rest of the leather. Apply leather sealant with a clean cloth to the area you repaired. This will prevent the colorant from rubbing off. Allow the sealant to dry completely before sitting on the seat.
