Also -- if you are due for an emissions test, you will not pass/be tested if the radiator leaks.
I learned this today, when I went for my annual inspection. In fact, I double-failed because I also need a new serpentine belt for the safety inspection. My goal is to buy the parts and do both replacements early tomorrow morning, and get to work by noon.
Belt is easy. Radiator is just hoses, pipes and clips. I hope I am right...
