What??? Are you a ninja expert?? Kick him in the throat. You do sound tough

When I was trying to get mine fixed most shops didn't want to touch it because it was aluminum and they either didn't have the tools, the equipment or the knowledge to weld aluminum. That is why I sent it to Myle'rs to get it fixed.

There is fluorescent dye you can put into the rad to find the leak with a black light.

Ya ! What they said ! And if he doesn't, threaten to kick him in the throat !

You would probably get his attention but to make sure you should add "and stuff you in a garbage bag" after the throat stuff

Be aware, I've known some radiator shops that claim to repair aluminum radiators, but only use JB weld.

I used these guys; Myler's Radiators , for a radiator repair on a Honda Hurricane and was very happy with the results, and the speed at which it was done. It may be an option, all you can do is call and find out. It's tough to find someone who is competent to weld aluminum radiators.

I will take a look. Just hate to be without the wheels for that long. Thank you...

Take it back to "The qualified tech" and demand they fix the F*cking thing properly.

Well, now I'm not sure sure about the "qualifications?" They did pressure test it the first time they repaired. As my cap was the original from 6 years ago, I changed it and then the leak started to show. Maybe not used to having the pressure again? not sure

NEVER NEVER NEVER USE A STOP LEAK ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ARE STUCK ON THE ROAD, AND THEN FLUSH THE ENGINE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND GET THE RAD FIXED AT THE SAME TIME.

If you can find the leaking spot, your local welding shop should stock aluminum brazing rods. You could should be able to do this in your garage with a MAP gas torch. The only problem might be that the leak is on the side of a tube and not accessible.
