Damn, those are some large photos.
Any idea exactly where the leak is coming from?
Is the radiator cracked? How long has it been leaking?

Step 1 Resize those pics...


You Crack is prolly on top cause stock radiators have plastic end tanks so either by a oem replacement, or get a Fluidyne/C&R /PWR/Griffin/Koyo

C&R comes with a Spal built on but I think you have to mod you A/C fan to fit

Yep, sounds like you need to replace it. It's probably the
original radiator. A new one won't run you much and you
can install it yourself easily.

My radiator just went out on me, i replaced it witha KOYO. I had to trim the radiator fan and COULD NOT USE THE A/C FAN. The AC fan does not clear the header.

Same thing happen to mine except it's in the front top. Don't even try to fix it or patch it, just get it replace ASAP. Believe me, i've tried. Ebay has some cheap and fast replacement too!!!

Just a note to anyone ordering from radiatorbarn.com

You do not get the full lifetime warranty if you install the radiator yourself.

go all aluminum and never worry about your radiator cracking, unless you get into an accident.

when replacing your radiator... be sure to replace your thermo stat also.. that is the most likely reason in the first place it blew open... and thats why people that buy new ones come back for warranties

Yes, I'd highly recommend replacing the thermostat after your radiator
install. I bought a new OEM replacment from PepBoys for about $14 total.
And don't forget a new gasket !
