    Just give it a good flush mate. Re-bleed your system and hope for the best.

    if you want to try your luck, drain the system like bax said and chuck a stop leak cube or chemiweld in.
    could give you a little more time to save before it eventually lets go

    when mine went i only could get the car to idle with a hose shooting water thought the radiator, it was flowing out the exhaust just as quick
