Oh what fun to get the 68 out in 103 degrees yesterday drive it to the house from storage unit to flush the radiator, and find out that its been leaking the whole time (coolant went dovn about 3 inches so not too bad).

It has its original Harrison radiator and will hopefully be repairable. I would hate to have to re-core it if at all possible but 1 leak could lead to many more if not properly addressed. I assume the shop guys will pressure up and identify and first the immediate leaks, and then repeat to verify that no other issues are apparent?

Anyone dealt with radiator repairs and if so, did you replace, re-core, or simply repair?

Thanks,

Kevin-
