2000 Discovery 2 with little over 1k
Hi, just noticed my rad is leaking. I looked around and it appears as though it's seeping out the bottom of the rad itself. I don't see any leaks from lines, hoses or other areas. It started yesterday and it's a good leak. Emptied half my resevoir.

Could the rad itself be leaking from age? Any thoughts before I spend my day pulling it out?

 

go to autozone, advanced or whoever you buy your parts from amd borrow/rent a preasure tester.
Without the system being full, properly blead and under preasure your are waisting your time.
Also you can find that Rad on ebay for $150.00 and that is about as cheapest you will ever find it.

and repair of the aluminum rad is not worth it. May also have plenty of this inside, see pix. Consider replace thermostat with an OEM one at same time. Don't want little holes in the top to get clogged. See pix.
