Yea its just pepper, I would say take it off and bring it to a radiator shop to weld it, cheap fix and you won't have to worry about **** staying on...

Re: Which one is the best to prevent leak

the whole egg trick does work, the problem is that it gets into the motor and can clogg the coolant passage ways. the same with the stop radiator/coolant leaks. they work great but get alot of the passage ways gewwed up, causing ure cooling system to work less efficently. its a pain in the butt to get all that stuff out, radiator flushes usualy wont even cut it.

the best way is due it properly, like seriously not hatter!! make that clear not haten on all you guys who do those tricks. but if you want to take care of ure motor dont put that stuff in ure cooling system as it will eventualy bite u in the butt.

i would say u can try jb weld, usualy works pretty good. or take it to a radiator shop like Joer1 said, usualy pretty cheap and lasts a long time. thats my

Re: Which one is the best to prevent leak

Yep, agree with evbo. I don't know if the pepper will clog up the radiator, but it won't cost you much to get it fixed if you can unmount it and bring it to the shop for repair. At least, you know that it'll be sealed 100% and you won't have any coolant running all over you or your tire when it leaks again.
