Hairline crack on top of radiator
Hey guys, i just found a hairline crack on the top of my radiator, on the end tank. every few hundred miles or so, a green crust forms around it. its been happening for a while, i just didnt know it was coming from a crack, so it seems. it looks more like its coming out of a real small pin hole. anyway, my concerns are pretty much how long it will hold? i put super glue on it to seal it, but i think i might regret that.
tell me what u think.

It could go at any time, you should replace it asap to prevent becoming stranded somewhere or overheating, which is detrimental to aluminum motors.

I mean the crack can get bigger and leak all of your coolant. You can try that radiator sealer stuff but I personally would just replace it so I would have no worries, especially with winter coming.

The endtack could possibly blow if the crack is large enough. Just replace the radiator. You can get one for about $100 shipped from http://www.radiatorbarn.com
