    I wouldn't go that route. If the radiator leaks, remove it and have it fixed or install a new one. Then, refill with a 50/50 mixture of Dex-Cool and distilled water. It's best to do the job right. You don't want to take a chance and warp the aluminum head of your engine, as many on this site have done ($2,500+). Creating your own chemical brew is really not a good thing to do on modern-day cars.
