I was looking under the hood yesterday and noticed traces of green fluid on top of the inlet side of the radiator. I pressed down and discovered a ragged crack
about an inch long. I loosened the overflow tank cap to releave the pressure.
I then cleaned around the scratch and coated it with Superglue. After the glue dried, I started the engine and let it run for a few minutes. There was no seepage. I checked it again this morning and it was still OK.

Is there a recommended patch for this?

Do I need to replace the radiator?

Is this an ASAP situation?

Where to find the best price on a radiator?

What brand ? Is Nissen the best aftermarket brand?

Thanks for the advice,
Michael Diamante
