Description of the problem	I began to notice leakage under my car. It appeared to be antifreeze so i kept a check on it. After two weeks, there was a gush of liquid. I took it to the local ford dealership. The radiator was bad and needed to be replaced. I bought my ford explorer new just 2 years ago. Shouldn't a radiator last more than 2 years? It cost me $80 for the diagnosis and $545 to replace it. I have the old radiator. In the upper right corner there is corrosion which indicates that there had been a malfunction over a period of time.
