Call a mechanic to remove it and send to a radiator repair shop for pressure testing and repair.

Or there are stop leak products that can be added to the coolant that might work. One of the simplest is to add some ground black pepper to the coolant. The particles of pepper can plug tiny holes nearly permanently. I like to use a commercial product llike DIKE or BARS LEAKS

In any case, you must maintain the proper coolant specification in the radiator. Do not run the generator long with weak coolant or plain water or you will damage the engine from corrosion and cavitation. Of course the worst thing is to let the coolant level be low, so add clean soft water if you must, but replenish with the proper coolant mix as soon as you can.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time๐Ÿ˜„

Temporarily we used ( ABRO cooling system stop leak ) product
it somehow reduced the leakage for the time

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
