[smg id=2438 type=preview align=center caption="broken brackets equals broken rad"]Update:
The radweld did its job, but didn't address the cause of the problem. Something you might want to check yourselves.
The fan for the radiator is held in a mild steel cage, mounted to the rad at three points. On of the holders had rotted through letting the edge of the cage rub against the back of the rad. This was probably going on for quite some time. When a second one gave out, the whole cage rubbed against, and eventually, through the rad. Apart from the hole the rad weld fixed, there are at least two other leak points. I have pulled the rad and am shipping it to a rad fixer place I have heard good things about, but I am not holding out much hope. I suggest you get out your torches and angled mirrors and check the back of your rads for damage before it is too late.
