I have a 92 Accord LX with the 4 cylinder, 4-spd automatic, and 130K
miles.


I noticed today that about 5" of the seam along the upper radiator
tank is split and leaking badly. Can this be repaired or is my best
bet to simply replace the radiator? Is there anything particularly
difficult about replacing the radiator on this car? I don't yet have a
service manual, unfortunately, but tools and experience (on other
vehicles) isn't a problem.

If the radiator needs to be replaced, I guess I have the option of
genuine Honda parts (about $220 at Majestic) or aftermarket (about $75
at HondaAutoBodyPartsStore).

Any help/tips appreciated.
