Radiator weeping
I apparently have a very slow leak in the lower part of my radiator. Looks like where the lower end cap meets the core-probably a lap joint that is soldered together. I have the traditional brass/copper radiator.
I was wondering if I could put my DYI plumbing skills to work and fix it. I figure I can clean, flux and re-solder the joint easily.
Can you just use the home center version of solder?
If it gets too involved I can just take it to a radiator shop or splurge and buy a aluminum one.
Seems like a simple fix so don't want to go overboard!
Thanks
