How can I fix a coolant leak?

Small Coolant Leak Fix #1

One old trick for fixing a small radiator leak is to drop a couple whole peppercorns into the radiator. The pepper will expand in the hot coolant and may be drawn to the leak by the pressure of fluid leaking out and my seal the hole. This doesn't always help but it is worth a shot so you don't get stranded somewhere.
