Blau Radiator Leaking

[Ameer Antar]

I had two original radiators go out on me, and they never had catastrophic 
deaths. They both were driveable. They just sprung leaks around the plastic 
attachment for the overflow hose. I replaced the radiator when I wanted 
to...no big deal for little drops to come from that area. Plus these 
radiators were almost 16-17 yrs. old. Never had an endcap problem. I'd 
rather buy another OE one and have it last for 14-16 more years than have a 
problem w/ encaps and such after a year or two. That's a more serious 
problem, you can't drive around w/ that. I'd rather have a leaky overflow 
connection than endcaps that are about to burst! Just my thoughts here.

plastic is OK!
