I would look at the drain valve before ordering a new rad. Also there are temp swithes etc and for the automatics I expect that their could be a AT fluid cooler at well. All of these are potential leak points. If the problem is the seal between the rad core and the plastic tank ends, these can be uncrimpted and new gaskets fitted. But local rad shops might not be able to source these gaskets. Often the old gasket can be reused and the crimps redone. I had that done on a GM rad where the crimps had not been tight enough and the gasket had pulled inward to creat a leak. Dripped on the floor and killed my cat :(
Take note of the Hanyes warning that the plastic for the rad hose connections on the rad are not substantial and can be easily damaged. I guess that means that they found out the hardway.
