I have a coolant leak that is on the right side of the radiator near the lower hose. Someone said the condensor rubbed on the radiator and that caused the leak. Any recommended stores to buy these parts and do you think it's the radiator?
Thanks

If there's a leak in the coolant system, then there is no pressure when engine is hot. Youll know if theres is pressure if u open the rad cap... Checkout: gloves on - and very cautiously, just turn ccw a little bit, dont open fully - close if pressure starts to release.
Never open fully when engine has overheated: if engine coolant level is low and noisily 'cooking', freed cap will shoot up and steam will burn u face...
IF theres a leak, dont drive or youll risk blowing head gaskets. "Five miles" with cold engine wont harm as long as coolant level is up, air bubbles have been thoroughly bled. See also http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/8
