Well my car has 90,000 miles on it and I haven't had any big issues with the car except for regular maintenance issues. A couple of days ago I noticed some white smoke coming from under my hood, I thought that the radiator hose was loose or had come off (it has in the past). After inspecting all the connections I didn't noticed anything out of the ordinary so I kept driving the car. Earlier today I noticed a fair amount of smoke come out of the hood again, with the distinct smell of coolant. I checked again and noticed that there was coolant around the entire top of the radiator. I did a quick search on EvoM and found the following thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-leak-top.html

I was wondering if there was anything else I could do, besides buying a new radiator? Is this a fairly common problem with higher milage evos? Mitsubishi quoted me $950+ for the radiator itself!

Here are a couple of pictures of my car:

Mishimoto is in your future. I'd tell you a quick fix but I wouldn't do it on my car. On the company car It's done all the time with no adverse affects. I even did it to my old XJ. PM me for the Fix. Your choice.

 

For 250 you can get a mishimoto radiator and have better cooling than stock.
