[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1039512, member: 73761"] leaks will either be big obvious puddles, or sinister unseen slow drips that eventually empty the radiator.. either check the overflow bottle regularly, or notice when it starts overheating ;-) my 1st gen 2004 radiator was plastic junk, lasted 16 years before starting a leak in the metal rather than the plastic oddly. Put in BarsLeaks since we were 1000 miles from home, got home and ignored it, eventually emptied again in the middle of the Red Desert in Wyoming.. Replaced it with a new plastic junk, figure 16 years isn't bad. The first plastic radiator I saw was in our 98 Sienna, couldn't believe my eyes - that one sprang a gusher from a crack in the plastic. The replacement plastic junk radiator lasted another ten years at least. interesting on the 20lb caps on the second gen.. [/QUOTE]
