Noticed a pin hole in top of radiator - is radweld a good solution here? Also, now radiator is drained, water still left in ...

Hello I have a 1952 series MM with the 918cc sidevalve. On returning from a good 20 mile run, I noticed a small amount of water coming out of the overflow pipe. Is this normal, or does it look like a cooling/headgasket issue ?(never had any issues here before). On a similar subject, any advice on dr...
