I wouldn't. You'd be best off getting it repaired. Apparently if you put an egg in it it stops the leak. never tried it though.

Rad Weld will get u through an emergency, but it will reduce the cooling a lot. Be fine for Xmas though.
New rad is the way to go, Flush the system though.

i got a rs turbo and had a slight, slight leak, the water level took a week to empty, so i bought some radweld and put it in, it stopped the leak, flushed the rad and engine out a week later, and its still sealed 6months on and not leaked a bit of water and the temps dont reach half way..
but i still agree with a repair job but then again, i tested it, it worked and now im been a tight twat!!

lol it's not ideal. But yes, it can work.
I did it at National day 05 and temps were high on way home... But it does depend on power significantly.

You could try 'leakfix' from Chemical metal/which is exactly the same as chemical metal/cheap as chips and will last forever/the rest of the rad will
of course rot but if 'yu's got no dough' for what's coming up in a couple weeks it'll see you through.
Good Luck
