Hey guys I had a CSF radiator installed on my GTM TT'd 370Z back in August to deal with some heat issues, and last Thursday night noticed that my water temp was going up really high and really quick. I was getting an oil change done on Friday anyway, so I wasn't too worried (figured I was just low on coolant). I drop the car off on Friday morning and when I popped the hood I noticed there was no coolant left in the tank. I never saw any pools in my garage so I was hoping there was some pinhole leak somewhere.

My mechanic calls me later that day and tells me that there is a huge leak in the CSF radiator, and noticed dried coolant on seals where the GTM kit cools the turbo.

We don't know if the GTM kit is an issue yet because the leak on the radiator is go big they can't even pressure test.

MY BIG QUESTION IS, do I get another CSF radiator to replace it? Should I just put my stock radiator back on? I can't afford getting this radiator installed and reinstalled over and over. Anyone have experience with the new radiators they have out? I supposedly have the revised version already, since mine was purchased in August of 2015 (supplier also confirmed that they only received my stock in July).

Thanks guys.

And please keep your fingers crossed for me that the GTM kit is ok (since I don't even know if that can be replaced at this point).

Cheers!
