Removed and checked the radiator with low pressure air under water, there are two leaks at bottom seam at fins (May not all be at surface?) Is there a good way to solder or a type of liquid weld to fill?
Anyone do this repair??

Best bet would be to take it to a radiator shop.

Soft solder, will have to look that up. It must melt at lower temp than the regular solder?

use 50-50 acid flux solder on radiators, but if you have tubes leaking at the tank joint it needs to be redone properly or you'll be patching it the rest of yer life .... take it to a shop, they'll redo both tanks properly
