I think i have holes in my actual radiator.. All of my hoses are still good no holes. I have used the radiator additive sealet. It worked but i think theres another hole now. Is there any other way to fix it except for buying a new radiator for the moment?

Radiator problem...

Uh oh... You have any holes in your imaginary (not actual) radiator? j/k
But seriously you may have made the problem worse by adding the stop leak junk.
Can you actually see the leak or is coolant dissapearing? What is the status of the water pump and heater core? How is the radiator cap? How is the thermostat? Has it actually over heated yet?
If your radiator is bad you will need another.1993 SE Coupe MRT - 1992 LX Sedan MRT

As by doing that you reduce the cooling capacity.
Get a new one (or secondhand) before you overheat and damage your motor.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

I've had many radiators crack and leak through my life. I've sealed them with junk and high temp sealants but it never really works.
Your best best is to get a new radiator or a good used one. My CB is a long term investment for me so I always install new parts over used. Take care of the car and it will last you probably forever. They are so easy to work on and repair and there really will always be parts available as these cars are so common in the junkyards.
