Radiator tanks are leaking, Ideal fix for the problem?

While some guys have temporarily gotten them to hold, the only real solution is a different radiator.

A new radiator isn't too expensive, I would just buy a new one.

X3 replace your radiator.

No, they don't.

Their is one guy here that had one custom made, IIRC it was around $400.00+ range.

Does the tank have a hole or crack in it? If not you may be able to recrimp the tank to the core. Do a search on the the forum to see how.

Try this if it's leaking from the tank/core surface. I've seen brand new radiators leak from this spot when cold. Crimping with Vise Grips usually solves the issue.
