My radiator is cracked in the plastic on the passenger side. At first I thought it was a leak in the reservoir until I had a buddy helped me pressure test it. It's the only vehicle I have so I need to replace the radiator ASAP. but I can't tell which side the outlet generally is to order a new one. The reservoir is on the passenger side the radiator cap is driver side. Any help welcome in replacement parts and advice.

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the Original Equipment Manufacturer[OEM] part number for your vehicle's radiator as well as the instructions for the removal and installation of the radiator for your vehicle. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
