now that I have the AC working I am paying more attention to my exp (driving it) and noticed the radiator was a bit low, topped it off and check and it was low again after a few days. Checked again today and could see rust stains on the side (trans cooler side). Not sure but it almmost looks like its leaking around the trans cooler top fitting, The water loss seems to stop once it gets that low.
At least I know its the radiator and not the block or pump.
So whats the skinny on replacement radiators? I am looking for something that will have the least drama to put in (not looking for anything that needs to be hacked to fit etc...) and of course cheap (I don't put a lot of miles on this car, but I do want a radiator that does not leak).
I am assuming there are aftermarkets for this. Oh and it does have the towing package. I did not know that both the internal trans cooler was used with the external as well.
maybe this?

I will of course try a new cap, JIC that is where its leaking and just fooling me with looking like around the AT cooler connection.
