radiator

(1/3) > >>

footman:
So it seems that my radiator has sprung a leak.  It looks like its coming from the top weld(not near the cap) and dripping down on the fan throwing coolant everywhere.  Where might I find a reasonably priced radiator?

good stuff, all metal, none of that plastic endcap crap like you usually find in replacements

Axle:
A cheaper option is the radiator sealant stuff.  It works pretty good.  You can find it at any of the local auto parts stores.

Rebell Bull:
radiator sealant is only a temporary fix untill you replace and it can also damage the water pump and coolant lines. I recomend replacing, but that is just my 2 cents.

rocket:
push comes to shove (money too tight for a new one), you can sometimes solder the leak.  My dad and I did it to the Beast (my 73 el camino)  back in high school, and it has never leaked since (though i replaced it w/ a HUGE radiator when i put in the new engine)
