Interesting, yes, I also had several radiator people tell me that they didn't suggest trying to repair based on the size and scale of my leaks. There must be something about the different types of metal there plus the mechanical or thermal stress just causing trouble.
I would have thought this would be a solved problem, but maybe it is in a newer design or something. The radiator on mine was originally made by Positech, and Positech was able to bring up the design in their computer and was willing to make another one on demand. I didn't end up going that route, however.
If I have problems with this new one over the next few years, I will be pretty frustrated. As much because of the huge hassle and downtime to take it out as the cost.
