I broke my first car's radiator from a head on collision and the second 240 coupe I just got have a radiator I'm suspecting has a leak. I had some fluid spills on the ground the other day. (I had plenty of spill when heater wasn't hosed up :P)If there is a leak on near the top of it how can I fix it? Will an electric welding work?

Thanks

No you need to replace your radiator. You would never be able to get a good enough bead on the hole, it would heat up, expand, cool down, contract, and eventually pop back off anyway. Radiator stop leak is a bad move too, as it has the nasty habit of clogging your heater core valves.

First make sure its leaking though ^^
