Just my luck, I might be joining the PWR radiator club by necessity moreso than choice.

Drove to work today, nothing unusual.
Stopped at the gas station for breakfast as I usually do.

Breakfast burrito, some kind of huge donut and whatever I feel like drinking.

As I'm parking there are clouds of steam billowing from my hood, from the very front.
...
...
Now that I think about it that's probably why the front of the engine bay is wet with coolant.
It couldn't have just sprayed in ever direction,

could it?

I checked for leaks, saw nothing but a small puddle.
I figured if one of the hoses on the left side were leaking there's no way my tranny cooler could be wet, especially if the fans were blowing and air was rushing in.
Then again I did let it idle on my home today in some parking lot for a few minutes.

ANYWAY here's the deal.
I have coolant all over the place.
A semi-slow leak.
No apparent hose bursting or fitment problems.
A much different situation than when a hose clamp simply fell off a few months ago.

What are the chances I have a cracked radiator fin and the fans are blowing it around?
Pretty good?

At what mileage are radiator failures common?

How much is shipping a new one going to cost me?

It's irritating when ebay sellers can't find the time to answer a simple question for a potential buyer.
Not that I asked PWR. I never thought I'd need a new rad til now. ):
