[QUOTE="jarance, post: 420254, member: 21"] The elbow is the weakest point of the radiator because it is plastic. 10 out 10 leaks found are usually from this area. It happen to my E36 and E46. Have try to seal the leak many time before but it only work for a few months. The leak will come back. I dont think you can just replace the elbow of the radiator cos it is an integral part of the radiator unless the part that is leaking is from the expansion tank. If the part that is leaking is the expansion tank, then you can just change it without changing the radiator. Dont go for half cut if you can afford new one. Most half cut are already near it lifespan. It might crack any time and you are back to square one. My advise is to change to new one and it will last you for another 4 years.
