    From where in the "top of the radiator"? But that doesn't really matter, putting tape on any coolant system leaks aint going to hold in 140 odd psi.
    'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'

    my guess is uve got a split ??? is your temp guage making its way up to hot, that would possibly put your engine light on, and putting tape on a radiator isnt really going to work it mat only be about 15 psi in there but the water and heat will wreck the tape real quick

    if its not to big of a crack and its in the plastic, as a band aid fix go to repco and pic up some stuff called Q-Bond sets like cement and is made to be used on radiators

    Bridge pins 5&6 works on the V6 VTs not V8s
    Read the error codes and look up on the forum what the code means go from there.
