Initially the leak was fairly small and I was able to plug it for over a year with some stuff that you buy for that purpose. It's a sealant and you can get it at Sears or places like that -- you have to drain the radiator, then pour the sealant in and run the car for a while to circulate it thru the radiator and then add the coolant. If the leak is fairly small, you might want to try that for a while. Eventually the whole bottom fell out of the radiator, but it was mostly because it had frozen (it was 20 below zero that day!) I had it replaced at Morningside Automotive for about $120 -- I used to take my car there all the time for everything. The guy who owns the place, Mike, is fair and a good mechanic. Buying a used radiator won't save you much at all -- it's the labor that is expensive, not the part. Good lucki!
