How to Fix a Car Radiator Leak

はじめに

Engineers design car engines to operate at a set temperature. Maintaining this temperature is key, and without cooling, various internal engine components can overheat and fail catastrophically. A radiator helps to keep an engine within this operating temperature by cooling hot liquid from the engine. Clearly, a leaking radiator is of great concern and must be addressed. This guide will walk you through the application of K-Seal, a product designed to combat minor radiator leaks.
