Interested to know what type of 4WD you have and the relevant payload?
 
A couple of years back, holed the radiator and it would lose half contents over night. While driving and radiator was under pressure water was streaming out. Managed to get to Leonora where I purchased the Barsleak. That product is amazing, within 20 minutes of adding the leak completely sealed and was able to drive 800km's home.
Never leave home without a 340g bottle to suit 6/8 cylinder..
