Subject says it all. The leak isn't bad. I just wanted to know if I could just use bubblegum or something to patch it up so I can save some money. (I'm unemployed, don't laugh.)

Ok, I know exactly what you need to do. You need to remove your radiator, get a propane torch, DO NOT USE A MAPP OR OXY/ACC like I did and melt the entire thing! WHat you need to do is clean the area around the leak real well, use a wire brush, then put some flux on if you have it, if not, just begin to heat the leak spot and once it is somewhat hot, melt the solder onto the seam. I did this, and it worked, except I used too hot of a torch and brazing rod insted, hey, I didn't know they were just soldered together! and about 20 new leaks appeared. Good luck. Take your time and do a good cleaning job, its all in the prep work.

Painted a cheap metallic blue that chips off all too easily and covers over the IROC-Z decals on the doors, also has non-leaking T-tops, ps, pw, power rear hatch, working A/C. Mods: SLP intake runners, gutted MAF sensor, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, modified air spoil, 3.27 posi rear end.
Broken stuff: rear spoiler brake light, driver side lock, power antenna, tilt steering, rear end bushings, cracked passanger side ground effect, washer fluid tab, leaking exhaust and a rotted through muffler that sparks when the car bottoms out while driving like any 17 year old does.
