Dumb Mistake
I was changing my serpentine belt and the socket fell inside the fan shroud at the bottom. I tried to pry the shroud from the bottom to retrieve the wrench and I bent a fin on the radiator and coolant started pouring out. Do I need a new radiator. If so which years will work for mine? Just has to be 3.0L engine. I think I will go the JY.

Ouch. That sucks royally. I bet you were swearing at yourself like a ***** afterwards. lol
I didn't know radiators could be repaired like that. Interesting.
What about the egg yolk trick? I heard and read somewhere that if your coolant system has a slight leak, you can pour in an egg yolk and it'll plug it up.
Although i don't recall if this is a permanant or temporary fix... I'd imagine a temp fix.
