Need support. Just found out my radiator is leaking

[iboughtatahoe23]

im reading the most common point of failure are the plastic end tanks however i didnt see any cracks

 

[iboughtatahoe23]

Only place I can see liquid or coolant is under the radiator in the little tray (think that’s what it is) and than some on the splash guard

I think I found it? Seeping through the side tank.

 

[iboughtatahoe23]

The shop I go to is thinking the same thing. But we just looked around while it was running and noticed it was seeping. Now I’m deciding if I should order the radiaotor or not

 

[iboughtatahoe23]

Yes. Every hose and line. Match it with your year and model but verify number of ports.

Do you know what core thickness I am supposed to get.

I squeeze the hose and there no pressure in system and coolant still drops after a drive, and after it cools down… those seep spots look the same. Not really justifying that much coolant loss (an inch or so under the full when cold line)

I’m kind of waiting to order because I wanna make 100% sure this is the right decision to make

I had a three year old Acura radiator spring a leak. It was nothing to drain and take it out and to a radiator repair shop. It was no big deal and didn't cost much *at the time). They boiled it out, soldered the leak and pressure tested it.
Honestly the hardest part was draining and containing the fluid avoiding contaminating the area but it worked out well.
