Poor Radiator floor- Help

[REByar]

Bill,
I did take your advice and put a roofing nail into the overflow tube. But water still got thru. It slowed it down a little. But in a 30 min drive I loose about a gallon of water. I know that because when I get back home it takes about a gallon of water(I use distilled water), to put it back to the same level.

Rebyar,
I'd forgotten that you already tried the nail. Honestly, from here in my CAVE, EVERYTHING points to a plugged radiator. "Maybe" it CAN'T be saved & need to spring for a new one.
