Default Radiator leak

alright i have a 1989 Camaro RS 5 spd with a radiator leak...replaced the radiator 4 years ago, and it just started leaking a few week back...it seems to be coming out of the passanger side lower corner of the radiator but im not sure why.?

1) could this be a crack in the radiator side panel?
2) if so should i replace the radiator?
3) If i need to replace the radiator is the radiator a 1 row or 3 row?

Thanks a lot guys..

Matt

Very Short Time For A Radiator To Start Leaking ... Running Straight Water?

If your engine is basically stock, buy a new stock radiator & be done with it ans save the cash. Make sure you install all mounting cushions, otherwise the vibrations will break the new radiator in short order.
