I have a 1997 GSR. I replaced the original radiator 2 years ago and again last year with aftermarket ones from a local parts store. Both have failed due to leakage from the seem at the top. I also have a small coolant leak from where the upper hose enters the engine. I know that tegs seem to go thru radiators quickly, but wondered if perhaps something else is wrong. I have seen some disucssion about head gaskets, but wouldn't that make the coolent dirty?

The temperature gauge is reading normally. The overflow tank is operating normally.

Thanks for any help that you can provide!

On a possitive note, I am getting really good at replacing these radiators!
