I had a weepy radiator and eventually replaced it. Discovered that radiator shops can work on the platic ones - was surprised. I'd run it by a shop you trust and see what they say. I ended up finding a good quality replacement for like $190 (one time deal) and so I just put the new one it.

Good luck Adnan!

Hi,

And there it was, coolant seepage at the radiator side crimp on the upper face, near where the small breather hose connects.

Is this the radiator's way of saying "my work here is done"? I'm assuming the construction is such that there are plastic side tanks sealed with o-rings and crimped in place?

Thanks,
Adnan
