N55 radiator, small leak at upper hose
My car is at the dealer and they do not have the radiator in stock. Is there something I can do to somehow "patch" this so I can get through the weekend?

You could use any of the radiator patch products, BUT DON'T! I would not want that stuff flowing though my cooling system.
I guess it depends where the problem lies. I had an old Civic with a plastic radiator that I accidentally broke at the top when I was pulling a battery out. I used some JB Cold Weld with a C-clamp to hold the broken chunk in place. I drove that car for another 3-4 years without issue from the radiator. I'm sure it could get you through the weekend.

I've had my upper radiator hose replaced after I noticed a small leak from the plastic bit that serves as the coupler end had a crack. |
