C43 AMG Radiator Leak

[DogWagen]

When I jacked up the car this afternoon to adjust the wheelbearing, I spotted a trickle of coolant from the undertray drain. After a closer look, the leak was coming from the drivers side lower of the radiator but has now stopped. I've search the forum and there's only one thread from Andrewcliffe related to the radiator - anyone know if the C43 radiator is prone to leaking like this? Presume I should be looking to replace it in the near future?

In days of old I would have put a tin of Radweld in it, however, I am sure someone will be along to advise you shortly.

"In days of old" my choice of an instant cheap fix would be Bars Leaks, but not sure it's a good idea these days.

I have also used 'Bars' with good results.

Using those products did cross my mind but thankfully I have another car as a daily driver... Had a closer look and the matrix/core is connected to the 'frame' via some rubber seals which have signs of leakage/corrosion - could well be a new rad
