Radiator leaking
Hello, I'm using ml320 2001 model and the problem with that is radiator leaking. Mechanic said to fix it remove and replace with new radiator. And my question is can I drive the car as long as the coolant is in.

The answer is no. Whenever there is a leak, you lose pressure along with the coolant.

If the leak is in a visible tube on the core, it can be brazed for repair. If it is on the end tank seam, best for a full replacement.
Do not use a stop leak additive. It will settle and clog other parts of the cooling system.
