Radiator hole leak I did a search seeing if anyone here had this problem....I have a pin hole leak on the side of the tank about 2 inches below the cap. I wouldn't think I have to replace the whole thing, what are the options??
Thanks

I believe the tank could be plastic-welded, maybe there is
a radiator shop that would do it instead of selling you a
replacement piece. But I bet most would rather not. The
question is, is it a pinhole or is it really the weeping end of
a crack that'll grow. Putting epoxy on the outside is not a
likely long-term fix. I got a LT1 radiator off eBay for dirt
cheap and prime condition (had to wait for one that didn't
have a lot of action on it, took a while but I was in no
hurry). Couple of caps for oddball lines and you have a
higher core capacity radiator to boot.

dont know where you live in texas but snider salavage delivers parts to different locations. I got a good radiator from them for $60. It came out of a 2000 camaro w/ 20,000 miles.
