for the sake of a tenner I would give a dose of K-Seal a go, at least it might buy you some time until you can get the job done properly.
Its good stuff.....

the first pipe to get warm is the flow pipe into the engine (lower pipe) with the top radiator paipe staying cold, then the heater matrix heats up both pipes and then the top pipe heats up slowly if thid makes sence
right now when it comes to running of the car it dont seem any different to when i first bought it but this could have been happening then and this is the first 4x4 i have owned as such
the exhaust is a little bit sooty but not wet at all and no splatters on the road
