Today I found coolant on the garage floor under my little red turbo wagon ('91 745). Drat. Coming from about 6 - 8" from the right (passenger) side of the radiator at the very bottom. I can't actually see where on the radiator it is coming from, but can see where the coolant has discolored one of the metal radiator supports.

How do I figure out if this means radiator replacement or what it means? The amount of coolant is small - a little puddle on the floor maybe 3 - 4" in diameter, and it looks like it might have been going on for awhile as some of the spot was pretty gooey.

I don't see any actual instructions on the FAQ for radiator replacement. Does that mean it is easy??? Thanks for the help.
