Just wanted to vent and shout.............. For some reason my radiator just started leaking the other day. Pressure tested it and its not the cap, not the hoses, but somewhere IN the radiator. Its just dripping from the bottom right corner! AH pisses me off. its always something!! LOL I got it out tonight and gonna take it to a rad shop this weekend. Anyone know what the costs to fix a all aluminum rad??? IM guessing its in the "fins" somewhere.....just wanted to let it out alittle lol!!

what year and model? the passenger side cracks easily... very common... happened to my friends lincoln... couldnte ven see the crack untill we pulled the radiator... hairline crack... once that system pressures up, even a hair-line crack will spluge its load.

dang, name brand. that stinks... id call them up and see if there is a manufacture's warranty... worse they can do is say no... and if they say yes, $50.00 shipping back and forth is better than a new radiator.
