Again.  I think.  Did some checking around last night, finally, for my persisting slow coolant leak.  I thought I had found it a couple times before...

On the bottom of the radiator - stock Nissens all metal - 2 yrs old (!), there is a welded tab with a rubber mount that sits on the body's rad mount.  This weld must have oxidized and gone through - cuz that's where it leaking - very slow - like usually only around town when water temps are higher.  I had virtually nothing leak out on the way to CT but here around town my water level light will come on after a day.

I guess this is a good excuse to get a fancy shmancy aluminum radiator....

HTH somebody else with a mysterious leak.
