Default cracked radiator

Well it happened I hit a deer with my camaro and surprisingly the only damage done was cosmetic and should be easy to replace...my issue is I found a small amount of antifreeze on the ground the next morning and figured it was from the accident but then after that I havent found any anitfreeze on the ground so Im confused on why it leaked in the first place. I am getting it pressure tested to see if it has any leaks here in a couple of days...My question is, how easy is it to replace the radiator? I had friend check the radiator and its plastic and he said it doesnt take much to crack it...Im just worried about the winter thats coming up and hopefully getting it replace by me and a buddy..

Yea radiators arent hard to do. Just gotta remove the air box and any other hoses that are connected to the radiator. Just remember to compare the 2 radiators when you have the old one out to make sure everything lines and there will be no issues when installing the new one. Be sure to add more coolant and pressurize the system when the new radiator is installed.
