Two raw eggs in the radiator and call me in the morning.....?
OK, I heard today that you can fix a small radiator leak by cracking two eggs in your radiator and that it will almost form a plastic like seal over the leak. I have ABSOLUTELY NO intentions of trying this. I was just curious if there was any truth to this tale? Thanks

Cool
Thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard and have no idea how it would even work. The eggs would cook once the car got to running temps and block off all of your passages.
