Multipla Radiator leak

Hi Guys

I have a 1.6 petrol 04 Multipla, it has developed a small leak somewhere around the base of the radiator.

Have obtained some Holts radweld, which advises pouring into the top of the radiator. For the life of me I cannot find a suitable orifice in which to do this, except for a very small plastic screw / plug on the side at the top.

Any ideas ? or can it be poured into the reservoir ?

Cheers

Freebs

I used on the stuff on a previous motor,I drained the cooing system and then refilled with the correct antifreeze mix with the radweld included,it worked for me.

Thanks for that, but have found a better solution.

'Wynns Coolant leak stop' or something like that. Just siphon off about half pint of coolant from expansion tank, pour this green gunk in, and it's sorted.

Much better than breaking off the clip holding the hose, etc etc and you can do it on your feet!

Cheers
