Re: Radiator problem
No it is not normal! I think people may have misread you original
post, if your rad is leaking along the top where it is mated to the
core you might need to take it to a rad shop or just replace it. I
recently had to replace the rad in my wifes Cherokee, I was going to
have it repaired but decided spending an extra few dollars on a new
one would be better in the long run.

Re: Radiator problem
The jeep radiators often leak around that seam. Mine included. You can
either ignore it like I do or replace the radiator.
