My radiator has a slightly larger than pinhole leak and has had for a while. It's been sitting for basicaly almost 2 years. Should I go have it boiled out and sealed right or just patch it and run with it? It'll cost me $85 to have a shop totally fix/restore it and proably $15 for me to clean it, flush it, seal it, and paint it. Will boiling it out make a big difference in cooling? What do y'all think?
