Default Leaky problems

I have the popular problem of my oil lines leaking. But the other day after a long road trip I went back out to my blazer to lock up for the night and noticed a big new wet spot on the street. Drivers side front of vehicle. Pretty much in line where the oil lines attach to the radiator. Well the radiator has a nice steady drip from the bottom pretty close to where the lower oil lines connects. And leaked enough to empty my reservoir tank. My deli-ma is with the all the issues with using aftermarket products that I have had, does anyone know if the same holds true of radiators?

Yeah............ with something as important as a radiator i wouldnt cheap out buddie! I have seen friends buy cheap fly by night crap over the years and watch it fail time and time again. Then after the 400 bucks they sink into the aftermarket for a cheap fix they always go back to good ol quality o.e(which would be ac delco). So if i were you i would cough up the x amount of dollars for the right one

Yea I know. I ve tried already to replace my oil cooler lines with new Dorman lines. Right out of the package they leak worse than the old ones. AC Delco are 3 times the price. I'm digging deep for this fix I guess.
