850 radiator leaking

Post by kent »

Hi~ Today I found not much collant in reservior, so I checked the radiator and I found the right down corner of radiator was leaking, but it was very slow. Is there any way to fix it or I need to replace the whole radiator?

You can try some stop-leak, but most of the time you're looking at a new radiator, and it's a pain to replace due to the oil line, tranny fluid and coolant all hooking up to it and running through it. Nissin makes about the best for our cars. www.fcpgroton.com has them for about $200. Good luck.
