Engine Cooling problem
2003 Saturn Ion Two Wheel Drive

I have recently discovered a leak of coolent from my car. I believe it is the hose due to the amount that leaks but my new mechanic (new since I moved from Mass. to Va.) thinks it might be the radiator. What would be the cost differential between replacing a hose and replacing the radiator bot of which he said would be a couple of hundred?

Replacing the radiator for a couple of hundred is a good deal.Replacing the radiator should cost more the part should be more then a hose.Which hose is leaking you are asking a difficult question when iam not there to see what's leaking.Let me know at least which hose you think is leaking.Let me know and i can tell you more.
