Cant really tell, Once my buddy who is a Nissan Tech pulls it out on Friday I will let you know...It looks to me like the bottom towards drivers side, He said something about where the plastic and Aluminum meet..dont know..will find out.

Never have liked the 1/2 radiators they are putting in the newer vehicles....I`m sure it is a cost thing but if the older ones were working, why change them ????? Good luck with your repair..

Thats funny, when mine was the first to go leaky, you all called me a troll. Go figure. Anyway, they told me the top and bottom caps were crimped on with tabs that mash a gasket... Sometimes the gasket fails.

My buddy that works over at Nissan said it happens alot...Now I have Radiator fluid and junk all underneath my truck on everything...ha
