Last November I took the cheap way out and bought a used Radiator from a guy on another forum worked like a charm until today. Looks like the top of the "New" one may have busted. But its dark and hard to tell exactly where the leak is. Has anybody else had this same problem?! Any parts I should maybe check that are common for leaks? looks like it had sprayed on the drivers side of the engine bay. 2002 Wrx.

Mine cracked a month or soo ago. Right below where the upper hose enters the radiator, plastic top cap. You can find the Mishimoto for $255 or less around. The oem replacement at autozone is 239 if i remember correctly. I personally i would not purchase their silicon hose set again. I could never get them to seal properly soo i put the oem ones back on and no leaks.

Check your upper hose, but most leaks are on the passenger side because of the extra plumbing for the turbo.
