Default Radiator is leaking

My radiator's leaking. I just had it replaced a year ago. I just wanted to know how much will it cost (roughly) to weld it back up?

How many miles on the car? I lost may radiator on Two 93' Tegs at about 120K. Great cars! Lousy radiators! Cost me $220 to replace the radiator with a brass replacement. No big deal. Current 93 teg runs great at 150K.

Double-check the top of your radiator for a tiny sticker claiming "Lifetime warranty." A good number of radiators have one. I'm not sure if they can weld cracked radiators.

i used to work at a metal working shop, you can weld anything if you have the right connections...

the oem honda radiator is plastic on top, and the metal is crimped... i don't think you can weld those.

if its OEM, you HAVE to replace it. Just get a cheapy all-metal radiator from some online radiator shop. They're cheap, and better.
