On the other hand what if I flush and I spring a leak or two
or three. Can I just put some rad fix in there and if so will it block just
the holes or some thing that I will need working and now is not.

Don't worry JB, that is why I said go ahead by all means. Use the rad
flush as directed till the flush water comes out crystal clear and
possibly get a bottle of rad sealer in stock - its best to have one
handy anyway. But when you have re-filled it with anti-freeze, run
the car up to temperature with heaters running at maximum blower
speed and have a good long sniff for hot anti-freeze before driving
it. If you smell it then add the sealer and you will be OK.
Remember that you have to flush the heater circuit as a separate
task, though its straightforward enough to do, but make sure that you
have the dash switch to max heat.
