Radiator: Replace or Repair?

[LStoudenmire]

Well, it appears that my radiator may have a crack in the top. Doesn't leak too much but it is leaking. Should I replace it for $150.00 or have it reapired. Not sure what the going rate is to have it repaired. BTW, Ex' has 138,000 miles on it. Any thoughts?

Replace it. The new radiators are mostly plastic and are not repairable.

It is not too terrible for a reasonably skilled DYI

I will be replacing. I went and picked a new one up last night.

I think it has an aluminum core. I don't think you CAN repair it.

Replacing only takes about 30 mins.
