Aurora has major leak somehwere. It seems to be on passenger side near radiator. Has anyone had similar leak? Is there a hose in this vicinity that has failed for anyone else?

The Aurora radiator has plastic end tanks, which are notorious for developing cracks over time. Impossible to see the crack with the radiator in the car, but you will find coolant under the car at the front right side.
You need to pull the radiator & have it pressure tested at a radiator shop. Be sure to go there knowledgeable of the fact that the end tanks are replaceable.The tanks cost about $35. & are easily replaceable. You should be able to get the radiator repaired for less than $100.

Good Info. I Had No Idea About Replaceable End Caps.

My 98 done the same thing with 125000 miles. In fact it was dripping around the oil plug. Believe it or not, wasn't the radiator but the water pump. Seemed the juice was running down and under. Replaced water pump, leak stopped on passenger side. Just my experience.
