Radiator need replacing

Replace the radiator, there is no DIY patch.

Where is the leak? What vehicle, year, model, engine??? Usually leaks in a radiator are not repairable, or the cost for repair is more than a replacement radiator. If the leak is in the core, the aluminum part,or in the plastic tank, the radiator needs to be replaced.

If your radiator is leaking,it's time to replace,all that stuff to fix leaks doesn't work,trust me,go to AUTOZONE,and get a new one,they come with a life time warranty,you will never have to buy another for that weekend.Always get lifetime replace parts.I will send a leak to your new radiator,need new cap and antifreeze.

radiator is made from some type of acrylic. When this type of leak occurs you must replace the radiator .

Radiator leaking...nothing to do here but replace it. The "new" aluminum and plastic radiators cannot be repaired. Kinda sad considering how new this car is. If you need a temporary fix and it's a fairly small leak there a lot of stop leak products on the market. Check your local parts house not the dealer they will rip you off big time for a new radiator and tell you can't use stop leak but it really does work pretty well, but you will need a new radiator, no way around it.

v6 or 4cyl?? Is it leaking from the radiator cap (4cyl only)?? If its not leaking from the cap and leaking from the radiator itself, whole radiator needs replacement.

If it's pushing coolant out from under the cap, you may have another problem (head gasket or cracked cylinder head) but if the leak is anywhere else on the radiator (except hose connections) then the radiator needs to be repaired or replaced. Always re-fill coolant with the engine running and heat on high to avoid any air pockets in the system.

Radiators with plastic top and bottom tanks have a limited life and if they leak it is usually terminal and will probably need to be replaced. Any radiator shop can pressure test your system. Replacement is not a huge job but radiators have become relatively expensive.

if leak IS from radiator, replace radiator. Its an easy do it yourself job. its only held in by a couple hoses and some bolts. put new one in same way you got it out. If NOT leaking from radiator then I will need a little more info than "radiator leak". hope this helps.
