Just to add confusion, I just replaced my original radiator 300K miles 1989. It had a very very slow weep that I smelled and never saw dripping until I removed the radiato and saw the small stain on the Tank. So I'd be inclined to wait.

My other car that has the plastic tanks on the radiator gave me plenty of warning prior to me swapping it out.

If you are not hanging on the Hoses and twisting teh heck out of the Nipples on the tanks...should be OK.
