Don't worry Sandun, the old radiators were made by soldering together.

It's an old type blowtorch, after he has cleaned the area where the water leaks from, he will use it to gently heat your radiator before applying the solder, which should then melt and hopefully seal the leak. The core of the radiator can get very thin with age, so not always easy.
