I have a question about my radiator leaking on a seam. Would i be better off trying to repair this leak or going for a new radiator. How hard is it to repair a small leak? do they make a product that can patch this area? thanks for the helpLeaking on the seam

Re: Leaking on the seam
it is soldered together. if you have some solder try soldering it. nothing else will hold worht a blank. it can be repaired by a shop too if you don't want to. gettign a new one is an option but i would have it checked out before just buying a new one right off of the bat.
