Radiator Leak
Hello everyone.
Not a good day at all. Had an argument with my girlfriend and was really upset ,
got into my maxima without even warming it up and I took off.
In the middle of the highway, my engine light came on and my temp gauge reached H. I looked under my hood and found my coolant all over my engine.
I was able to spot where it's leaking from. From the look of it, I think it can be fixed. I don't think I need to replace the entire thing.
The link below shows a picture where the leak is. Its that little gap.

Is there a permanent fix for this? I've read a lot about the JB Weld. Not sure if it is just a temperary fix.
I also read about soldering it. Can that type of plastic be soldered together? I think that is the best way of doing it.
Thanks in advance guys.

I had a radiator leak a couple weeks ago, that top plastic tank was the problem as well, I just replaced it last week with a KoyoRad. You can always by the upper plastic tank its about $45-$55 bucks, I took my oem radiator apart to experiment and its fairly easy to work with.
