So I went by my girl's work today to spray down all the bolts with PB blaster for the lift install coming up. I noticed a puddle at the very front of her jeep. I smelt the liquid and it was antifreeze. Not I looked up underneath there and really didn't see any wet spots that would make me think it was coming from her. I didn't get a chance to really look at it, but I popped the hood to see if it was coming from her water pump and didn't really see anything....I am going to inspect it closer to tomorrow, but am thinking because of how far up the puddle was, if it was from her jeep then it would be her radiator. I looked up prices and so far, the cheapest I have found is Radiatorbarn.com for $96 with free shipping. Just wondering if you know of anyone that is more local that might be able to come close to that price but get it to us alot faster if it is indeed from her. Also, what would a shop normally charge to install? One guy said he got his down at a local radiator shop for $150 out the door.
 
make sure its not just a loose lower hose clamp first
 
Dont just buy a radiator. Like skyhik said it could be something simple. It could be a pinhole in a hose or an overflow hose came off or something. I wouldn't jump to the most expensive item first....You didn't mention what year or model jeep you have so it'll be hard for us to see what's a good install price if indeed it is your radiator. Good Luck
