Coolant seeping from the core or tank seams, a coolant level that keeps dropping or a temperature gauge that climbs can all mean a radiator is failing. Before you replace the radiator, rule out the thermostat, radiator cap, hoses and water pump, because overheating and coolant loss do not always start in the radiator.
