Re: Leaky Radiator

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The origional radiaters have plastic end tanks and they will 
eventually leak. The radiater could also have a rotten tube. Replace 
the radiater before you either blow out the tube and have a big leak 
or you blow the end tank off. Take small things as a warning of big 
things to come! The replacement radiaters now have brass end tanks 
soldered on so if you change your anti-freeze before it becomes 
corrosive the radiater will last forever. Replacing the radiater is 
not a small job as it has to be done from under the raised car. Take 
no chances with the cooling system because although the PRV-6 is very 
durable it doesn't like being overheated!

the car and there is no anti-freeze leaking out of any of the hoses , 
but there is anti-freeze leaking out of the bolts that holds up the 
air vent, right under the front bumper. I notice puddles of 
anti-freeze right by the front driver side tire. That is the only 
place where it leaks. I was wondering is worse comes to worse and the 
radiator needs to be replaced, is that a special made radiator or will 
another radiator from another model car will work just as good? Thanks 
a lot!
