radiator leakage

Just a week ago when i got my brakes changed and a inspection the guy notices the radiator leaking near the top.

I did research and it shows that alot of people have had leakage in the exact same spot i do which is next to the cap.

What radiator should i replace it with to rid myself of this problem.

Welcome VietOne. I replaced at least two radiators in my 93 Surf. I understand they are notorious for being pretty weak radiators, being lots of plastic.

I'm not sure if you can get a beefier model or have go the OEM way which is what I did.

Good luck!

I had mine replaced last summer. I went with a reconditioned non Toytota one. Lifetime warranty and a little better capacity was all I needed to hear. I think I paid around $200.
