[s-cars] Strange coolant leak

[Fred Munro]

Tony;

These rads have plastic end tanks crimped to the aluminium core and sealed
with a gasket. Eventually the crimps relax and the gasket starts to leak
coolant. I had to replace the rad on my '94 S4 last winter due to this
problem. Take a close look at the end tank/core joint to see if it is wet
with coolant.

I appear to have a small coolant leak from the radiator area bottom corner,
driver side. I took the hoses apart and insrected them and no signs of
splits. Did not get any further leaks after re-assembly and standing
overnight.

Anybody experince leaks in this part of the radiator before?

TIA
