Well I bought an AirEvac from Mityvac. It is supposed to create a vacuum in the cooling system and sucks fluid into the system and eliminates all the air.

While hooking up the unit and trying to create a vacuum in the system I could only get about 7 or 8 in of vacuum. When disconnecting the air line I could hear a gurgleing coming from the radiator. I traced the noise to a small crack in the front of the radiator all the way on the bottom, passenger side.

I'm getting out my JB Weld and will report back tomorrow.
