TWO YEARS AGO, I REPLACED MY 1993 VOLVO V90 RADIATOR WITH A NEW VOLVO RADIATOR. IT STARTED LEAKING AT THE SEAM A MONTH AGO. THE RADIATOR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE IT IS OVER 12 MONTHS. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN. THEY SAID THAT THEY SEE THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH MANY VOLVOS. I WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. FOR NOW IT LEAKS ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF WATER BUT EVENTUALLY IT COULD HAVE A LARGER LEAK AND THUS OVERHEAT AND DESTROY MY CAR'S ENGINE. *TR
