Default Koyo Radiator Leaking....

I have a fairly new Koyo radiator (purchased in May 05'). It has a leak at the bottom left near the hose. Only doesn't leak from the hose. It leaks from the radiatior itself, right where the base meets the side. I was wondering if anyone had Koyo radiator's number in case it's still under warranty. If not is there any way I can fix it? Any help is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

I had a modified C&R rad, added a couple ports welded on for the turbo coolant. One of them had a pinhole leak, just a drip. Some aluminum bars-leak stuff fixed it (permamently to survive track time and a couple radiator flushes.)

$5 might save you some trouble....

When my R is 65 years old I'll get it checked out for high coolant pressure.

Thanx for all the replies... I've heard those liquids you put in there can clog stuff up. I was wondering if there was anything I can put on the exterior part of radiator to stop the leak? Or if anyone has a contact number for Koyo Radiators?
