lately ive been loosin water real quick, so i checked it out today and ive got a leak but its not the radiator and my car is too low to really get underneath, but by the looks of it, its just behind the engine. i put some radweld through it and its stopped leaking today, will it hold or what?!

will hold for a whilek, that stuff is quite good in my experience but i would fiond the leak and sort it really, if its at the back of the engine it is only likely to be a pipe or something

Sounds like the pipes or seals between the block and matrix may need attention.

could just be the pipes into the coolant tank... the bottom pipe esp...

Get it up to running temp, and look for the leak... take your time !

Oh, and dry the pipes etc first

Radweld isnt the best bet.... getting fixed so you dont need to add pish is the best bet
