Aluminum Radiator Leak
Hello All,
My Aluminum radiator sprung a leak a few weeks ago. The leak seems to be coming from the corner of the tank right where the fins start. My question is, Can this be repaired?? I had my old stock radiator repaired & slapped it back in for the time being. I'd like to have it repaired if possible and have it ready for the summer. Help!!

It is an after market Radiator. The leak is in the top left corner, right where the fins start. I take it I may just have to find the right radiator guy to repair it?? I hope...
