Well fun /o/, my 04 CTS-V sprung a leak at the top of the radiator. Luckily it's really easy to get to the car still holds enough coolant to get around town.
What is the best way to temporarily patch the radiator leak? JB Weld? Obviously a replacement will be necessary down the road...
Eh?
None of you fuckers ain't ever fixed a rad leak?
that's gonna cost at least $400
if you have to, overnight parts from Japan
Thanks for all the advice /o/, I went ahead and did it with JB "marine".
How long will it hold?

Did you apply that with a super soaker?

Hairpin and toothpicks
It's not a fucking weld, it's goopy sticky shit.

Probably twoish week at most depending on your driving style, if your that kind of fag who thinks your busiest man in the town and does 70 on a surface street, probably less than a week
Just keep an eye on your coolant gauge and check for leaks"Everytime" you get out your car. And go buy a radiator

Luckily there's an analog and digital gauge for coolant temp.
What exactly about driving style would effect the pressure inside the radiator?

Why do you even have a -V if you don't even know? It'll last a long time, maybe even years under normal conditions. Do a bunch of highway pulls and it's done in one hot day.
Dude, /o/ is slow if you want actual answers.
Yes, you'll be fine.
I like the permatex gap filling plastic welder, but see diff
This is a 200 dollar volvo I found the pieces in the trunk...
