yes pepper will work I have used it many times at the race track when one of our cars had a small leake we would go to the snack bar and get about 20 small packs of pepper and dump them in and it waorked we did not have to worrie about it.

Eggs work to!!! I done it years ago in my 302 xa falcon ute.A fine spray was coming out and I'd heard about the use of eggs before so I tried it and it worked. I had the radiator repaired more permanently at a later date. Good stuff to know when your in the bush.Having access to eggs a bit tricky?

the only way this would work if the pepper is coated with glue or some sort of adhesive product cause there is no way pepper could stop a radiator from leaking

I am a mechanic from central victoria Australia.
This myth is busted yes it will work to get you out of trouble but it takes a whole container of pepper. But I wouldnt drive from melb to cairns.
