    my jeeps been running great for a while now, so its no suprise that I suddenly got bombarded with issues. to this day, i have successfully fixed every radiator leak with that JB stick weld. well, today i noticed alot of anti freeze had dripped out after i parked the jeep for a half hour. the bottom lip, at the very bottom of the fins, is full of antifreeze. i apologize, its very hard to describe. there has always been antifreeze sitting on this lip, but it never dripped over and onto the ground. i don't think there is any way to jb stick weld this one....so re-core it?:beer::beer::beer:

    This is where my antifreeze is piling up. I don't know anything about radiators other then JB stick weld is amazing. The only time I've ever changed one was when my fan went through the center. I assume this radiator is shot and the fluids coming from the bottom of the fins? I really don't have enough experience to tell whats going on though. Time for a new radiator? Any help is much appreciated, thanks :beer::beer::beer:


    (thats a zip tie in the picture and not a stick dangerously close)
