Coolant leak

1992 F350 IDI XLT Lariat crewcab - Think I finally got the oil leak fixed (valve cover), but now I have a coolant leak coming from the passenger side of my radiator, looks like above the hoses. Thinking I am in for a new radiator!!! Anyone have some good places to buy one?? I would like to replace with a OEM brass and copper 4 row.

Also the rearend pumpkin is leaking now too, seems like all the seals on this truck are going a month after I bought it.

My first stop would be a local radiator shop, a bigger one if you have several to choose from.

Ask a price for both a recore and a replacement.

Also if the core is in decent shape, they may be able to just rod it out and fix your leak for much less money.

Copper and brass prices are up a little right now, last time the prices were up a new radiator was over 400 dollars for a stock 4 core.
