Radiator is leaking...

[loufish]

Well it's now my turn to deal with a radiator issue...So if I do nothing and fry an engine, the engine will be covered under my 5 yr/60,000 mile warranty....but the radiator is not covered under the same warranty...Makes no sense...

Any body know of a good aftermarket radiator?

Is it the Radiator, or the cap??

Here are some after markets to look at.

Or is it the coolant line underneath?

Not the cap...
Do you mean the lower rad hose?

I haven't found the actual leak, it's small enough(for right now...) that I only lost about 16 oz of water coming back from a 140 mile trip home.

I'm going to try and drop the lower fan shoud to check, but I just don't see anything else it could be from that far down.

There's a small coolant line on the bottom... I think it goes to the tranny. 54's leaked there, mine leaked there. There's a TSB on it I believe.

Well, I found the leak, the plastic tank cracked right where the molded in bracket for the fan shroud slips in...
New radiator $225 plus tax and I'm back on the road again...
Will investigate rad mounting to see if there is a way to prevent the chassis shock loads from getting to the radiator...
