What do you recommend to fix a leaky radiator?

My passat is leaking from the bottom corner (known fault apparently) would rather not lump out £300+ for a new rad just before the family holiday, so was thinking radweld or similar would give me a temporary fix I need - any suggestions?

Confused!! its for a passat not a house radiator!!

55 plate passat, just started leaking a few days ago - can't see it from the top of the engine or underneath due to the plastic covers, so will try Radweld plus and see how we get on

No - not using it for the holiday - so don't want it to dump all the fluids while we're away - just want something that'll last for a few weeks to give me a bit of breathing space

that was a fitted price - not a job I really want to attempt myself to be honest
