#119263, "Radiatorbarn.com radiator leaking"


          

Anybody else have this problem with these radiators? This radiator is not that old, maybe 2 years, if that and it's leaking out of the top. You can see where the coolant has pooled up by the seams.

I can post pictures tomorrow, I'm going to bed right now.

I have two of their radiators and one A/C condenser that are all over two years old with no issues.

I can't see your pics yet but I had a leak that appeared to be in the upper tank seams but ended up being a bad hose that once replaced was fine.

As with any radiator be sure you run good anti-freeze in them to prevent early corrosion failures. At two years, your radiator still should look very clean inside.

Prestone with distilled water, pretty good combo if you ask me. One bottle of Redline Water Wetter in there too.

Esi,

I have a Radiatorbarn.com radiator and I noticed the same thing. As Dave mentioned, check your hose connection at the top to make sure you have a good seal there. That is where mine was leaking from and then it would run down toward the drivers side along that upper seam.

Car is sold now, but it was showing up on the front side of the radiator first. But I tightened the hose anyway.

I don't care, I don't have it anymore.
