You can try some radiator sealing products that would probably do the job depending on how big the hole is. I had to change my just two weeks ago. It turned out to be a worthwhile job letting me clean up some very gooey injection ports on my intake and head. Good luck with the repair.

I'd personally pass on the sealing products and try to isolate and repair the root cause.
You mention that there is a "small stream" of coolant.
Those sealers are very hit and miss, work best on a very small leak, and some of them clog up the cooling system including the heater core.
Find and fix the leak.
