So Saturday on our way to Jack's I noticed my radiator leaking. I kept water in it on the way home and it did fine.
Today I found two pinholes in the top row.
Anyone know where to get radiator pinholes fixed?

Try Autocool Radiator & Automotive 862-3430 1949 e. Commercial st.
I brought them a fuel tank the other day full of 10 year old nasty gas and rust. They cleaned and lined it for $60.

I thought I smelled it on the way to Jacks Yeah a couple others said that also. After stopping a couple times for other things, I knew if we kept moving I would be alright. I will call them in the morning, thanks Justin.

Update; I took my radiator off and called around for best price and quickest turnaround on repair. I ended up taking it to Budget Automotive and Radiator repair. They were the quickest turnaround and decently priced. The radiator was in excellent shape, no fins bent or problems showing when I took it in. I was quoted around $50 on the phone and then quoted $40 - $50 when they looked at it. When I took it in they put it on a tester (for pressure) and said it had a crack in the top row. I said it looked like pin-holes but they insisted it was a crack. When I asked how a crack would happen on the back side of a radiator they said it probably overheated. So, they called a few hours later and said it was done. I went in and they ended up charging me $65 instead of the $50 I was quoted twice. They said it was a little harder than what they thought. I asked to see it but they wouldnt bring it out till I paid. So I paid for it and when they brought it out, the place where they repaired looks horrible. They bent and broke all the fins away and didn't fix them. they repainted it and did a crappy job. I didnt want to hassle with complaining so I brought it home and installed earlier this week. I got it all put back together and right away it started leaking from the same area, but in front instead of the back. I think they made it worse. I went and bought some epoxy repair (since it was what they said they used) and ended up fixing it my self (which I guess I should of done from the start). I haven't taken it for a long run, just to springfield and back but it doesn't look like it's leaking now. Warning: dont use Budget Automotive & Radiator Repair.
