You can drain the radiator and solder the leaky spot . A cheap-o electric solder kit from a an electronic/geek shop will do fine. Gently ( I mean gently....) wirebrush the area first. When it's done and no leaks, spray paint it to avoid rust.

Trying to find a vacuum leak on a 2005 Nissan altima 2.5s they said on the right hand side of the engine

Best way to find a vacum leak is to start the engine and then spray Carb cleaner in the area you think the leak is in. then put the "tube" on the spray end of the carb spray so you can pin point the leak. The engine should speed up as the carb spray is sucked into the leak.

I have a 2001 nissan altima and the radiator is leaking at the top seams, will bar's leak work to fix the problem? and which one?

Not really. That is good stuff for pin or small holes. Once the seams come apart you need it re soldered. Now if this seam is very small in leakage....very very small it might get you by for a few days. Copper coat stop leak works the best.

2005 nissan altima 2.5 liter heating problem. car will not heat when ideling only when i drive it or rev it up.dealership said it was a air pocket in the radiator took it home next day same problem. it has...

Do you hear a sloshing noise coming from your glove compartment? If so, they did not completely remove tha air pocket. I had the same problem. Jacked up the front of my car and started the motor. Removed the radiator cap while still cool, and topped of the coolant. Then as the motor warmed up, the air bubbled out of the radiator. Once the bubbling stopped, reinstalled the cap and all is good.
