Radiator Leak on top Plastic Tank

[mrbigstuff]

I have been in this situation before and I know the temptation to repair the leak is great, but in the end (and if you plan on keeping the car), it is cheaper in the long run to buy another radiator. If you have a good boneyard around, you may want to see what they have available. However, some used parts are no bargain and nearly as expensive as new.

(Questionable quality of newer, China-made parts complicates this situation, but for the sake of argument I'll assume that you find a quality new item.)
