    Anyone have any experience with the leak stop stuff you can buy? I bought a patch kit for the outside of my radiator but it doesnt seam to hold very well. It will only be a temporary thing until I can get the radiator.

    Not to hijack the post but figured I wouldn't make an entirely new one....
    I saw some people said they bought radiators off of ebay. There are a few for $66 and change shipped. Others are $100 shipped. Anyone have any recommendations? The feedback is extremely solid for the sellers I was looking at.

    The Crack on the top is a weak point, it is usually caused by excessive leaning on that hose or wrestling with the hose over the years.

    Well that might explain it. I just got my coil packs, plugs, and wires changed about a week or so before I noticed a bit of smoking.
