I recently bought a 1987 944S and the radiator expansion tank seams to be leaking possibly at the gasket or the crimps that hold it on are coming loose. I think I need to replace the whole radiator but im not sure what needs to be done for me to get the thing out of there. I dont have the money for a repair manual which right now retail around $275 (6 volume). If someone out there knows where the hose connections and how the radiator is bolted in I would very much appreciate a few pointers. (Im not sure if I even need to replace the entire radiator, but it looks like it, does anyone know if what my problem, is requires a new radiator???)

Thanks,

cluelessmechanic
