I have a redtop Sr in an S14 i modified the stock KA Radiator to work with
my motor for monetary issues. It recently started leaking from the top of the radiator. I got a used Sr rad and was planning to swap out. But this morning when i went to check the fluids coolant was leaking from the top part of the house towards the engine. The first thing i thought was it the headgasket.....what do yout guys think.....

why would you think its the HG? if the HG was leaking it would burn coolant or mix coolant and oil, not leak out of the water outlet. the hose that you have on there is most likely leaking.

o ok, well i changed the radiator to the sr one and customed a hose. I will see it it stops leaking now. Thanks

Is there any hose that can be used with the Sr radiator that i can get from like discount auto or any other auto parts store?
