Okay I'll admit to doing it.
Expose the area that is leaking and clean it well. Cut a piece of black cotton t-shirt material slightly larger than the area of the leak and saturate it with black silicone gasket sealant. Apply the saturated patch over the leak and smooth it on. The thinner the finished patch the more flexible it will be. A thick blob of silicone is not what you want.
I used this fix on my AA radiator 10 years ago and it has not leaked since. I've also use the same type of repair on chest waders, coolers a hot tub etc... with good success.
