id say if it just leaks alittle just put in some stop leak. tho use the good stuff! dont wanna clog anything else up in the process.LOL

but if its leaking to bad id say get it recored at a radiator shop. i wouldnt think it would cost to much money being so small.... but i might be wrong. im used to fullsize radiators.

drop an egg in there... I saw it on mythbusters, it stopped the leak. They just don't know how good it is for the car or how long it will last. I'm just bored finals are halfway done, don't try that egg thing.

the OEM ones are not made of copper. you're thinking of the old school radiators. ours are aluminum and plastic.

just buy a new one if you can afford to. you can pick one up for $100 or less. just gotta look around. have a buddy that got his for $60 brand new in box. good luck.
