Thats too bad yo!

If you wrench on your car, you can take that radiator to this shop on PCH & Harbor. I took mine there a couple years ago. Paid $60 for the burst side to be replace. Took about an hour.

I bought the replacement hose & NAPA off long beach blvd for 30 bucks & was back on the road in a few hours.
