I thought that too... but for me it was up higher where the plastic meets the metal that I had a small crack.

Ya im almost positive its the radiater, gotta be

I pulled the radiater out today and thats what was leaking, it was leaking from where the plastic meets the metal, it was also in the front thats why i could really see where it was leaking from!

If it is radiator - just replace it. Not much way to fix these.


Hey BigBlue - long time no see!

If your radiator is leaking, I'd suggest replacing it. I'm not overly handy n i didn't have much problem replacing mine a few months ago.
