Radiatir question
My radiator is leaking where the Bolton tranny line comes out of the tank. How would I go about fixing this due to I don't have the money for a new radiator.

Leaking antifreeze or transmission fluid? If it's leaking antifreeze from the cooler fitting it's probably cracked and there isn't a good fix. Nothing sticks to that plastic for long.

It was leaking at the nut. I pulled the front off and pulled the radiator up and found that the nut was loose. I tightened it up and let it idol got it up to temp. No more leak the radiator is 2 years old I was hoping that the tank wasn't cracked.
