This is bad but ... in the above case and if the crack is miniscule, maybe
you can try the liquid ghetto fixes - magic stop-leak substances sold in
FLAPS.  I had a little steam coming from my rad ('88 Typ 89) recently and
used the old-time gourmet chef version - Cayenne powder - but a couple of
teaspoons of any red pepper, hot or mild, will do.  Why, is she running hot
now!  Actually the steam stopped, for how long, who knows?

OK, before I get flamed (or peppered ;o), I don't drive this car much, only
on my property over the last year to pack down the snow.  This is generally
nor recommended, just offered after insitence on avoiding the proper fix.
