Take it to a radiator repair shop and try to get it fixed first. After puncturing the radiator in my 05 600RR I had it fixed for a total of $50.00. If you have to by one check out www.ronayers.com. They seem to have the best internet prices on OEM parts.

Put some egg whites in it. It worked for MacGuyver.

you can use jb weld or some other high temp steel/ aluminum epoxy to patch it up if it's just small leaks... I had a rock puncture the aluminum core on my car but it only bent a couple of fins didn't go all the way through... so I just pulled it out, drained the coolant and sealed it up... works great. if it took out like a whole coolant row though you will probably need to get a new one.

No way dude, there was no paper clip involved. Just the egg whites. In fact, this was even on an episode of Mythbusters. They didn't use no stinkin paper clips either, just the egg whites. The results...... myth CONFIRMED. It really works.
