Weird leak from radiator...anyone?

I've already replaced the tank on the passenger side due to a crack. The other side just sprung a leak. It looks like it's coming from the seal between the radiator and tank. Anyone ever have this happen? Is it possible to just replace the seal?
thanks

Hey man, the same thing happened to me. One of the plastic end tanks cracked and was leaking. I take it into the radiator shop and get it fixed. 2 weeks later, the *other* tank cracks and starts leaking. Back to the shop.

I think the best advice is that if you have a third gen and you crack a tank, have BOTH tanks replaced.
