s2k radiator leak

[SXYS2K]

i have a small amount of coolant coming out of the top of my radiator, its just enough to soak the sponge at the top of the radiator. Sometimes it loses heaps of water and other times it doesnt lose any, but i went to the mechanic down the road and they said it was a small crack in the top tank.

I heard that you cant replace just the top tank on these radiators. I got a couple of prices on new radiators and the cheapest i found was $450 supply only. Can you replace just the top tank? If so, im presuming the cost of doing this wouldnt be too much diffrent then a new radiator.

Anyone else had this problem??

yeh you can. just take out your radiator and take it to the radiator place and they can replace the top tank for you. i think its about 100-150

or if your gona buy a new one might as well get a KOYO aluminum radiator from one of the ebay stores. works out to be the same but nicer
