My radiator has a leak clearly coming from the bottom of the radiator. I took it to a service station and was told that the leak was caused by an internal engine problem and that I needed a new engine. I find this hard to believe as it runs fine and there are no other indications of any leaks occuring from any other place. Any advice is appreciated.

A leak in the radiator isn't caused by an internal engine problem. That is crazy. I recommend you get a 2nd opinion. My guess is that the radiator may need replaced. Today's radiators have plastic tanks on them and when they go bad, they are not repairable.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
