I changed my radiator about 3 years ago. I havent had any temperature issues since then.

I have been filling my coolant container about once a month for the past 2 years or so and found a leak at the base of the coolant container yesterday.

Is there a way to seal this without having to change the entire radiator. I would hate to spend all that money again.

Thanks,
Suj

The expansion tank is a seperate unit and can be seen in an exploded view at Realoem.com, it may also be a split or leaking O-ring.
I use this site whenever I am away from home to look up whatever I need for my customers, it is very handy, bookmark the site mate.
