    My 1.0 has been leaking Oil from the head for ages.
    It's never bothered me as I always top it up.

    Now Oil is getting into the radiator, it's creating a weird smell, smells a bit like marzipan I rather like it

    So would radweld cure Oil from getting into my radiator?
    I'm guessing the Oil is getting to the radiator from the head and radweld won't help?

    I got a bottle in my garage you think it's worth putting it in and seeing if it improves it a bit?

    if your cars worth it just get the gasket/leak fixed or replaced, otherwise if you dont care give it a go,i remember reading somewhere that them kind of products can block/clog up cooling channels etc,iv never had to use the stuff so im not 100% sure on this, its just what iv read.

    Personally I wouldn't put it in my car, it will block up the cooling channels as said above.
