radiator problem?? 200 1981

Sounds like a leak. Are the tanks plastic?? If they are, and you have a leak, you'll have to replace it. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix them, and they often break, crack, etc. In the meantime, keep a close eye on the resevoir tank and make sure that you are keeping it full. Too little coolant, and bye bye engine.

Replacing the radiator is really a pretty simple task. Unhook a few hoses. remove old one, and pop in the new one.
