95 Cherokee Radiator Leak?
 
I recently noticed antifreeze dripping on the ground over by where the battery tray is located. Can't exactly see where it is coming from but it looks like the top of the radiator has dried antifreeze stains.
Oddly enough it stopped leaking on it's own for the time being. Why would it stop? Is the radiator difficult to replace on this vehicle? I remember doing it to my old 85 Cultass and it was'nt too bad.

Make sure there is still rad fluid in the radiator, no fluid and it will stop leaking.
Other than that the change is no special tools, you may want to change the rad hoses at the same time, water pump is also very accessible with the rad out, new serpentine belt, when was the last change of the thermostat. Use good quality parts and fresh fluid. Need to touch up paint anything when the rad is out? It will take you 2 to 8 hours depending on how extensive you get into the job. Still no special tools. Be gentle with the new rad.
