where is it leaking. Is it a hose, or just a crack? Because you can do a temporary fix for it. I had to on my elantra and it worked great. It does look all that great but you could paint it if you needed to, to make it match a bit. But You can get the stuff cheap at any auto parts store. It will look something similiar to this when you go there. Its basically like a clay

track down your leak, then decide what to replace. Dont just start buying stuff untill you know where its coming from.

you used two tubes of it on what. You are supposed to use it on the crack itself. So if that is what you have then obviously its not a hose. But like he said. Have the car running and maybe try and squeeze the top radiator hose to see if you can get it to squirt out anywhere.
