So Bill, did I miss out on what the outcome of your leak was?

Look in the pics section 101-120. You will see a few
pics of my rad pulled out for checking and replacing of fan bearing.
Take off the rad door.
You will have to take out the bottom plate, rivited on.
Take all bolts off rad, disconnect hoses and have 2 people help to take it out.....heavy.
Get it tested, rodded, etc. while it is out.
May want to change out fan bearing at same time. Tough to get out without rad removal.
