I got a coolant light last Monday on the way to work. I thought "no big deal", and topped off the fluids (coolant and oil always in the trunk!). The following Tuesday, the coolant was low *again* and I thought uh-oh, something's wrong. I pulled over and saw the fuild leaking. I let the car cool off, topped off the coolant, and called my mechanic. I got the car to him at 11 AM and was out by 4:30 PM. There was a crack in the plastic part (see below), the upper driver's side facing the airbox. The cost was $360 total, but I don't mind because the OEM radiator lasted 154,947 miles. I am OK with that ($0.0023 per mile). Here are some pics :
