And now mine is leaking.
2010 Eddie Bauer, 4.0 V6, 4WD, Auto.
Purchased in late March. Appears that the dealer replaced the radiator, Thermostat housing, and upper radiator hose. There has been a smell since day 1 and I need to top off the coolant every other week or so. No sign of a leak. Then, today I lean further into the engine compartment and see this (picture). Looks like I found my leak.
Question: Should I replace the radiator or try to fix it by crimping the tabs that hold the tank?
I'm leaning toward getting a good aftermarket radiator. Thoughts? Suggestions?
