Not Ranked
Replacement ordered from Fluidyne. Being built now, should be done today or Monday. The Fluidyne president contacted me directly and said the leak is likely a failure due to electrolysis. The new cores have a "sacrificial rod" (similar to a water heater). It's not a free replacement since the rock dings are the primary reason I'm replacing it. The leak was handled by silver seal.
The electrolysis issue is one I'd never thought of. The radiator "floats". I don't even think the engine side fan makes an electrical connection to the radiator. Some additional grounding from the radiator to the chassis is needed. I'll figure it out when I put the new one in.
