The sides of the radiator which is made of plastic can be replaced. Usually the leak is around the plastic area or at the plastic outlet where the top radiator hose connects to. Mine was cracked at the plastic outlet and at the core itself and yet it wasn't leaking severely at all. Most to most just top up a pint once every two weeks. But decided to change the whole rad than to repair. Replaced it with Behr for 730 and this was the damage occurred in Nov this year.Went back home to check on the maintenance history file of the car and it was last replaced back in 2001. Which means that rad worked its life out for 10 years!!! Somethings are just meant to last..........for a DECADE only!!! I ain't complaining. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
