Coolant Leak

I've just noticed a very very tiny leak at the inlet junction above the radiator. It's the black hard plastic place. It's just on the side. The leak is very small, but nevertheless, there. Could I just get a radiator sealer for this?

No, don't use a sealant. Get a new top tank fitted and it will be good for another decade.

It's probably time I got a new radiator, then...

Not necessarily, the radiators last quite well but the plastic top tanks die from brittleness over 20 years.

Ahh well.. I ordered an ASI radiator anyway. Was pretty cheap for $235 and free shipping
