Do you see evidence of corrosion inside the radiator or does the coolant drain out nasty looking when they fail? Maybe it’s a vibration/fatigue failure. Maybe try an isolator between the four mounting screws and the radiator support to prevent vibration from migrating to the radiator. Most modern cars with aluminum radiators have rubber idolaters where they mount.

Ahh, yes, very common among men of a certain age. It is treatable.

Not vibration per the analysis provided. Electrolysis enjoys environments where dissimilar metals exist or electric current travels. This is why aluminum boats have isolated ground and are not chassis grounded.

Just for info I was looking on Eckler's website and came across that they sell radiator caps with anodes in 7, 15 and 16 psi

Now the question is: Will the corrosion byproduct clog the newer radiators with tiny water passages?

So its a choice between possible clogging and an external leak? I think remote possible clogging is a much smaller risk
