Radiator Leak
Hi All,
Got a radiator leak  - seems relatively small at the moment, but will need a long term solution instead of topping up...My mechanic is recommending an OEM Behr hella replacement - plastic again i guess Does anyone have any advice? This car has been challenging to love the last few months just hitting the dreaded oil/coolant leak part of it's life |

+1 for FCP. If you don't want to worry about cooling issues, do the radiator, hoses, reservoir, thermostat and water pump at once.
If you still have oil leaks, get the kits to do the oil filter+cooler housing gaskets and valve cover gaskets while you're in there. If you wanna upgrade to an aluminium radiator you can always grab a CSF radiator. It'll be about $5-600 more than grabbing an OEM replacement rad from FCP.
