Radiator side tank leak 850 1994

Hi,

Since 2 days, I remark a small amount of prestone on the floor just under the radiator. I check my expansion tank and it seem that the level was ok. The day after, again, I found prestone on the floor same place... I check my expansion tank and observ a lower level than the previous day. I check all the pipe that are connected to the radiator and find no leak. I remove the splash guard and look directly at the radiator... I found a small leak comming from the very bottom of the right tank (prestone tank, not the automatic transmision fluid tank). The leak seems to be coming from between the core and the right tank. How dows the sealing work between the core and the tank? Is there any gasket? I dont really understand because the radiator has only 2 yrs (the core) and side tank probably 5-6 yrs... Do I have to change side tank?

My next step is to remove the radiator and see if it's possible to remove tank... anyone have a suggestion/solution?

Thanks

Bruno
