The 2 radiators and especially their supports are crap.
If you hit a curb then a lot of force is put on the very flimsy bottom support of the radiator. This force gets transmitted to the midpoint support point of the radiator. This midpoint support is plastic and is part of the plastic flow manifold of the radiator. The support point will get a crack at its base and you have nice leak.
Luckily the radiators are not that expensive (~$200 at FPC) and relatively easy to replace.
