So.... I'm stuck in NOVA with an over heating engine. I take it to Merchant's and they do a pressure test and tell me that there is a leak in my radiator. I had been adding coolant to it for a while so I'm not that surprised yet, It was replaced along with a new water pump just a year and a half ago. might the radiator still be under warranty? Anyways, the guy tells me it will be like $660 to replace the radiator (340 radiator, 180labor, 109 for flush). Do I even need a flush? My coolant should be good for 100,000 miles.... btw this is my 1996 Buick Riviera S/C. I heard from another person that I should be able to just get the leak welded or even saudered and that should work just fine. I am not lookin to spend a crap loada money so any help with the questions or recommending a place to go would be much appreciated... Thanks.
