Hi folks....

Please help. I have an 02 wrx with stock radiator. There is seepage of coolant on the top. Its not terrible, but I have to drive for the next 2 days until I can get a new radiator. I know this is a common issue with this radiator, so Im upgrading to aluminum, but not until Monday. Do you guys think its safe to drive on for a day and a half? mostly freeway driving, and I'll take it easy. I have some coolant in the trunk in case I run low. But what are the chances of catastrophic radiator failure that strands me at the side of the road? let me know your thoughts. Thanks !!!!

 

Im going to say your chances of catastrophic failure are high. It might only be leaking/seeping out a little now, but it will probably get much worse as you continue to drive it.

Its not worth risking your motor.

 

Call 1-800-radiator and call it a day. Or buy an aftermarket alum. As long as it's not on ebay.

 

Getting a new radiator today....thanks everyone !!
