Was leaking coolant so had a pressure test done.
Told my radiator has a crack in it and new parts and labor would cost me $350. Could not afford so need to put off for now. How long can I go with a cracked radiator? My driving is never more than 30 minute trips. Thank you.

Try buying a thermagasket or steel seal might save you money-forget the stop leak stuffs I find it a joke waste of money

I would love to save $. Not sure what is a thermagasket or steel seal for that matter. What is the easiest to do for a lady to do who has no mechanial skills? Thanks again.
