'94 sierra leak from bottom and rust in radiator

[sonasam300]

What up guys and gals? I have two problems. The first is rust in the radiator and over flow. The second is a hole in the how do I say this the Bell housing? A hole the size of a tack head leaking water. I've had the truck for a month so I never bothered to check the radiator:banghead: can anyone offer some advice as to what I can do to fix this besides take it to a shop. Thank you

Edit: sorry I posted in wrong forum

Start with flushing out your radiator with http://www.prestone.com/products/print/424?popup=1. This will clean out your cooling system and if there are any leaks in the system, your should find them and fix them the right way.

When refilling the radiator, just use water until you find where the leak is coming from. This way you will not be wasting expensive coolant and being enviro friendly. Just keep in mind that you can not run your engine on 100% water, your going to boil it over and kill your engine, but its good enough to rung the engine to find the leaks.

Good luck and keep us posted, don't forget to replace your thermostat also.
