Small leak in two radiator lines

Hello, good morning, I wonder if it will work to seal those small leaks with silicone for high temperatures, what happens is that for the line that goes to the engine that way I sealed it (the tube broke) and that's why I used silicone lol It sounds ugly and poor but that's what I have, my question is if the radiator I put silicone at the point where it is throwing water can I seal it for at least a month at most? I highlight it I just want a quick solution for as long as I get money and send it soldered or buy a new one, thanks.

Hello, the logan radiator is sealed with silicone from the outside with the grilles together, a year and a half ago and still goes. The rubber bands they bring inside cracked and it starts to lose water.

Assuming it sealed with high temperature silicone, how would you do to reach the broken capillaries with the dissipating sheets in between? I think it is better to heal in health and buy a used or new one.

I can visualize the leak correctly, it was the insurance of the fan that made the fizura, they are small, it is not very large if I exaggerate in the two lines they are of maximum 3mm in diameter each leak and they are on one side of the line

You can use the so-called liquid steel. https://www.fermet.cl/loctite-37531-acero-liquido-soluel-en-frio

good day the solution could be that what ennio montenegro says or it could also take you to weld so you can see what the leaks are

But in the case of modern radiators is the sheet not too thin to heat it with flame?

The current radiators are made of aluminum or plastics, they cannot be welded.

Hello, thank you very much everyone for your time, I was not looking for a permanent solution (for that it would lead to repair or buy a new or used one) an apology if I did not express myself very well, what I was looking for was a solution could be said temporary already I used the vehicle to transport me to work and at the moment I had no money, so the quick solution to repair it or buy another one in two or three weeks. I ended up using epoxy glue, since the leaks were quite small and with the help of a screwdriver I managed to close them (with the naked eye) because that could make the pressure that would have the minimum leak would be minimal opt for the top la brand epoxy glue The label says that it works for high temperatures and works for high pressures, I put it yesterday and so far it has not spilled water.
