I have got a slight radiator leak-- at the top seam. (I am attaching a picture-- hope you can see it)
It is an 93, with 117k miles on it. I have only had it a year, and know nothing of the maintenance history. I would probably assume that the radiator is original. But maybe not.
I am inclined just to replace the radiator. CDAN quoted me a price that seems remarkably cheap for an OEM radiator. Plus I live in Arizona, and am planning to tow my ski boat this year with the 80. Towing plus 110 degree temperatures tends to stress a radiator.
I know the factory manual describes a repair solution. And I could probably have a local radiator shop take it apart to look at it, but I hate to have it down for a serious length of time.
I am planning on doing a PHH repair and coolant flush in the new month. Should I just replace the thing at the same time?
What would you do?
Thanks
Jared
OK, second try-- here is a picture of the radiator leak
