You're sure it's the radiator and not the water pump, right? OK, if the radiator is leaking and it's still got the original plastic one in there, replace the radiator. Many people convert to metal radiators, three rows deep versus the original two.

This is one of those "do as I say, not as I do things". We're still running the plastic rad in my wife's 90 740 and same thing with my mother-in-law's 89 740. My gosh, are we crazy or what? Actually I'd be reluctant to send one of those cars out on a long hot road trip as-is.
