Re: Radiator problem
It is a rubber "O" ring that begins to leak, they must crack,
because my attempts to stop it by bending the tabs to increase pressure
on them have fail. Buy a new radiator.

Re: Radiator problem
If the core is in good shape, then you can have a competent radiator shop
replace the seal and recrimp the tabs. My friend charges about $25 for this
in his shop if you bring the radiator in. Prices may vary depending on your
location. If you try to recrimp the tabs yourself, without the proper tool,
you'll end up with a leak much worse than you have now.

You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have advised the poster to ignore it.
