So my friend practically gave me this radiator from his old DC2. He said it has a small pinhole leak somewhere along the front of it. I was wondering how I could go about fixing this? Or if I was to take it to a repair shop, what would they do to repair it?

check it out, the inlet and outlet match the s13 hoses very closely!

find out where its at, and JB weld it.. or some stuff they got at your local auto parts store.

if its only a "pin size" hole, then that stuff above should take care of it.

Bring it to one of them asian shops.

They can fix anything.

well, if its actually pinhole sized, a lil radiator seal that comes in a little film canister would work.

DONT use the liquid/pelet mixture. The stuff i'm talking about is strait powder and is grey..almost like ground up pencil led.

I'd prolly only use half a tube as too much will CLOG a radiator.

or just take it to a radiator repair shop, and pay like 40 bucks to have it flushed and repaired... they solder it i believe

What I would do is get a acetylene torch and some silver and fill it in.
