Default Radiator leak

For the past week, every time I go out to the garage, I find a drip of coolant on the rear, lower right corner of the radiator. It also left a wet spot on the floor. I keep looking and can't see where it is coming from. It's driving me crazy. I was just wondering if it would p*ss you off too? If I need to get a new radiator, would I be better off getting the newer style? Does anyone know if it will bolt right on with no problems? I'm guessing I'll have to get a longer wire for the fan sensor since it is lower on the newer radiators. Some one help please.

Anyone know how much a radiator for a Scrambler costs? I looked at Partsland.com and they run about $230, but all their prices seem higher than my dealer's prices. Soo I dunno.

Why don't you take it to a radiator shop and have it fixed?

Probably a lot less than a new one, last Chevy truck radiator I took in cost $75 to repair. I would try that first, if you are sure it is the radiator leaking and not hose. If it is like the radiator on my SP700 it appears to be all aluminum so it should be repairable.

Default Radiator leak

My radiator leaks too. I can see a small puddle on the bottom corner of the rad cover and see the steam. It only does this (leaks) when it gets warmed up. I dont see any leaks when it isnt running. It also isnt pulling any fluid from the resivoir. I noticed that one of the hoses has almost completely rubbed through on the frame. I am going to replace the hoses and resivoir line as well as the rad cap. I hope that will solve the problem. I dont think that it is the rad itself cause it only leaks when warmed up, Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
