my truck leaks coolant. the res is down almost to the bottom and the under side of the truck is wet. The only place I see it leaking is the bottom corner of the radiator. I can't quite tell where the leak is. it seems to be somewhere half way up on the radiator. I'm going to take it all apart tomorrow and was hoping someone might be able to give me a few pointers.

 

Ok, found my radiator leak. on the drivers side of the radiator, half way up there is a pin hole leak. coolant runs out when I pour it in the resivour. I pulled the shroud out and unbolted the resivour. Now the question is, can a leak right on the radiator itself be fixed? soldered or glued?...???

 

Yes, it can be fixed, but it's not a do-it-yourself job.

Any competent radiator shop can fix this properly for you, and the operative word is PROPERLY!

Your cooling system is just too important to the longevity of your engine with which to take shortcuts.

The leak was caused by the fan shroud rubbing over an extended period of time against the radiator causing it to wear thin thus causing the leak. something i'll need to protect when re-installing shroud.
