I just replaced the radiator with a brand new one, now the car leaks. Only after it's been driven, sometime a little, sometimes alot. It doesn't overheat at all. What could this be?

sounds like you have a leak in the radiator itself, or at the lower radiator hose.

radiator is brand new right out of the box. We did not replace the thermostat. We will replace that and check the hoses. Thank you
