mine is got a slow leak through a jammed drain plug( long story, but mechanic shop fuct it up, so their paying...) instead of getting replacement($120 was the best price i found on ebay for OEM fit radiator) you can upgrade to a high perf. unit from fluidyne, koyo, etc. expect to pay 300-400 though but quality is the shjop is covering 300 for the new radiator...so i'm going with fluidyne from https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=4 ...it fits 5th gen accords but with a little bracket mod you can install this. Stinker has got his radiator installed in his thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1302814

If the crack isn't that big you could always go the cheap route and use JB Weld.
