Default turbo 94 integra gsr radiator question

A friend of mine just installed a drag 3 kit on his gsr. After installing it his radiator started leaking and got worse. He replaced with another stock from another gsr and now has the same problem 3 days later.

Any help??

Is the radiator itself leaking, or is it a hose? Check the o ring where the drain plug is.

the radiator itself has sprung a leak, we can see it.

Any reason after adding a turbo this should happen?

If you have a leaky headgasket boost could creep into your cooling system, but that would just bubble the coolant and escape through the overflow bottle. (Seen it happen)

Where is the leak? I'm guessing someone just wacked it good during the installation.

I will have to get exact location.

This is the 2nd radiator put in that is leaking now, so I dont think someone damaged both putting them in.

If the motor mounts are bad, when you rev it, it could be rocking the manifold/turbo/etc into the radiator...
