#134622, "Hole in Radiator"




          

So I found out my car was overheating at idle because my fan wasn't turning on. Through process of elimination ended up being fan motor. Took old fan off, moved ac one over (figured I dont use the ac one anyways) and when installing I noticed one of the bolts that hold the fan to the radiator was really long.

Thats when I should not of been a dumb ass and found a shorter bolt... anyways I figured, well it was already there, so tightened everything down, and yeah I must of tightened it with .2lbs to much pressure because it punctured a whole in the upper part of the radiator...

Any ideas how to fix this? Tried JB weld, but it didn't work well, still a tiny hole. Going to try to re-JBweld it and hope for the best, but any other ideas appreciated. Car is still drivable, and the leak is super minimal, but would rather do without it (and do without the whistle its producing).
