You guys have been really helpful in the past-so let me try again. I noticed apuddle of anti freeze under my car and on inspection the lower radiator hose seemed to be broken in a couple of spots-but when I went to take it off the pipe it connects to on the block has rotted out-Can this be repaired? welded? Any suggestion would be aprreciated.
Thanks, Eric


Eric,

This happened to the high rad. connection on my '81. Since the radiator is composite, you will probably have to get a new one. Shop around...should be $250-$300 (Auto trans-compound rad.)
