put a volt meter to the battery w/ the car running and see if its getting better than 12.5 volts. thats a ball park on where to start looking to take your mind off charging system issues.
do you have a system in the car?
do you only drive about 15 mins or so on the days you do drive the car?
do you have pulleys on the car?
if yes then you are using more battery than your stock system can recharge or your amps aren't turning off.
also try disconnecting the battery when you park it if its still dead then you've got a crap battery, if not then something is pulling it down. maybe start w/ cleaning the connections and making sure your ground wire is good.


as for the radiator look and see if the hoses are secured or you might have a crack in the tank.
