I decided to install a trans cooler since I was servicing the trans and got the pan dropped anyway. But when I cracked open the trans cooler connector(which is totally unnecessary and should be avoided completed), I noticed that I broke the trans cooler connector fitting to the radiator and now the coolant leaks badly from aroud the fitting.

What are my options other than replacing the radiator? Would some liquid metal treatment do the magic? Or is there a way to remove and replace the fitting(I am not sure this would be possible since it looked like the fitting was welded to the radiator)?

 

Best bet for salvaging it is pull it and see if a radiator shop can fix it. Might be a crack in the solder around the fitting. Might be a good idea to check on having the shop redo the whole radiator while it is out. Working on it in place is a pain. jim
