Radiator is leaking - can it be fixed or do I need to replace? 850 1996

Your going to have to replace the tank. It will quickly get to the point where you will break down due an overheating motor.....if you take it to a shop your looking at about 600.00 parts and labor. If you look on ebay, you can get a new Behr or Nissans radiator for about 140.00 and do the job yourself, which while time consuming, isn't a bad job. I did the repair in my driveway about 8 years and used a Nissans. I wish I used a Behr because the drain plug set up is much better. But the Nissans is still leak free. Don't take the car on long trips till u get it fixed.
