I don't think the JB Weld will hurt anything, but I would be surprised if it fixed the problem for very long.Rb_newsletter wrote:Looks like my coolant expansion tank is cracked. I came accross the link http://www.ehow.com/how_5606749_fix-coo ... leaks.html. Is advisable to seal the crack with JB-weld? Will it cause any other problem later.

I bought a used expansion tank off of eBay for around $15.00 a couple of years ago. The patch might slow things down and buy you some time but long term it won't last.
