Yep, it's good stuff. The preparation is the most important part. Getting it really degreased and clean and then scuffing it up a bit for better adhesion will help in making a better bond. It's not a permanent fix but can get you through in a pinch like this. But you have to know where the leak is coming from to begin with lol.

IVU. are you having someone put in the radiator? Please don't take this as a put down, but you said you don't know much about vehicles and working on them, and not even being able to find a radiator leak? Installing this radiator is not a simple job for a novice. It's not terribly difficult but from what you described, I don't know. Please don't take this as a put down, I am just going on by what you wrote previously. It's not just unbolting a couple bolts and sliding it in. It's a pretty big job, so hopefully someone that knows is helping you or you're having a garage do it for you.

Did you ever replace yours? Which brand if so

that's good IVU. yes, If you watch and help someone else out this time, you will be able to do it no problem next time. but hopefully there won't be a next time for yours. Mine was replaced under warrantee, so I didn't do that one, but I have changed 2 radiators for people with h3's. I have no idea what brands they got. They were just some aftermarket ones. Honestly, I would not do anything until you have a garage show you where the leak is, or find it yourself. I would have to see it for my own eyes before I go replacing stuff.
