Will be radiator fluid being that colour.

Personally I wouldn't put any weld stuff in the radiator unles it was absolutely necessary.

It could be something simple like a leaky pipe, get underneath and have a poke around, or if you CBA get it to a garage ASAP.

Eggs work as a short term fix, they "cook" in the hole and seal it up.

If you want to piss about like that, buy a Ford Escort and Primark clothes.

Otherwise, just fix the problem.
