   Probably stopped leaking because it was empty!
   
   Radweld is okay for weeping radiators, yours sounds like it has been hit by a stone or something. Replace it mate, easy job and won't cost a great deal. Don't drive your car until its sorted, you are likely to overheat it if you have not done so already.

   That will be because there was an airlock in the system, as said, get a new one ordered and don't drive until you have it on. Remember to bleed the system too when you fit it or else you stand a chance of airlocking the engine and F***ing it anyway.
