Jim,
I had the same problem, I think.  The bends in the steel pipe from the
engine to the radiator had corroded north of the engine compartment.  I
poked around at the flake corrosion and it went from leak to gush.  Long
story short- I cut out the bad portion and used 1 1/4" copper coupled to
the old with rubber hose.  All in the winter in Chicago. All at the
curb.  Only regret.. I left the copper bare and the salt is turning it green.
