Asked on December 17, 2011
Would a bad water pump build up pressure and cause the radiator to crack at a seam? Its a 2001 Kia Sportage
Car was driven with water pump squealing, finally overheating, the water pump is undoubtedly shot and the radiator has developed a 4 inch split in the seam, do you think that split in the radiator can be welded or will a new radiator be required?
