Leaky super A radiator

Roddy · Sep 5, 2009

I have a leak where the top outlet (cast iron I think) meets the radiator.

When I re-installed it I must have put to much pressure on it somehow, it looks like it's seperating a bit.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks guys.

If it's right where it joins to the tank, I'm pretty sure that's a brazed joint. It'll take some prep work in the surrounding area and a good fluxing, but you could try soldering it. If that doesn't hold, it should be an easy fix for any competent radiator shop.

If it is a solder joint anyway, then solder is your answer. All I'd add is that if it were mine, I'd dismount the radiator and lay it flat to attempt the repair myself. My luck (and soldering skills on large stuff) I'd get the whole thing too hot and the pipe would fall right off.

Thanks scotty, that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure.

We don't really have a radiator shop in my small town, but I should be able to find someone that can braze.
