Radiator Leakage
Ok, My radiator is leaking now. Right on the bottom were the plastic meets the aluminum. How do I fix this? I was also considering Flyidyne or a Griffin radiator. And I do not mind moving the battery. Or changing the sides of the inlet pipes. Which one is better?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I had that happen recently on a 90GTU on the top end. I got a replacement at the junk yard, no time to wait for mail orders. It was from a 88 so the shround attachments dont fit as well

I had a similar problem. Turned out I had a leak in the core and it was "pooling" on the bottom of the radiator. I got a replacement from a local shop, and installed an electric fan while I was at it. The setup works fine. In your case if the crimped edge where the metal meets the plastic is leaking they may be able to re-crimp it, I would take it out and get it pressure checked under water to find out where the leak is comming from.
