Radiator leak.

Great video! Quite the squirter you got there.

Unfortunately JB weld wont work for one reason- thermal expansion and contraction. Plastic does that and JB weld doesnt... well not enough..!

New radiator on your shopping list.

Try 800-radiator. Their prices arent too bad. I get their product through my brother who gets them there.

As others have posted a new radiator is the best solution.

One internet dealer lists a "High Quality Direct Fit OEM replacement radiator" for $128.71. They also list a Unifit, A Top Of The Line Replacement Radiator for $159.60. Plus shipping and handling of course.

If you need a temporary solution it's possible a small diameter, short length, self tapping screw might help stop the leak, perhaps using a rubber gasket under the screw head. This is only temporary at best but at least your leak is in a position where this could be done. Ive not tried this in years but I think it would work.

Stop leak items added to the radiator could plug your heater core they are not a good idea in my opinion.

How large is the leak? See a rad. shop; they can sometimes repair or block out a leaking area, depending on the rad. core material.

... Or on-line at a number of sites for under $100...

Seal it from inside, then pressure works for you. Don't actually need the special tools shown in Nissan workshop manual for removing header tank, a screwdriver and slipjoint/waterpump pliers will do the job. Carefully bend the tabs up straight by levering with screwdriver, remove tank. Ensure surface is clean and rough to give a good key to the epoxy. Clean rubber seal seating face and replace seal. Refit tank using pliers set on 1st notch to bend tabs back over, go round twice.
