Anyone else's Summit radiator develop a leak?

[Mrgreen94gt]

I took my car to a local shop today to get my X2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit put on. While it was up on the lift, I was looking around under the car, inspecting this and that, and came across a couple of leaky spots near the side tanks. They said it wouldn't be any trouble to epoxy it. But, it's kind of annoying for such a new radiator to leak like that. At least it didn't cost that much, otherwise I'd probably be mad about it.

I was just wondering if anyone else running one of these has had this happen.

Jose (str8stang036) is selling his car, but his has been on at least 6-8 months, and I know he hasnt had any probs with it.

I've had mine about 10 months, so who knows. It certainly is a brute when it comes to cooling, though.

I have mine for 6/7 months now and still no leaks. (knock on wood)

No leaks here, but I've only been running it for 1-2 months, though I've owned it for over 2 years!

you mustve hit it during install or while playing around in there.

When i put my Fluidyne in it was leaking at the drain petcock. A little thread tape took care of that problem.

That's pretty likely. There was a bit of banging around when wrestling it in there. More care will be used next time time it comes out.
