It's a fairly new radiator. But i do realize even those can break. If there was a crack wouldn't it be leaking out the bottom

My Behr was less then a year old with roughly 8,000 miles on it before it gave me issues. Noticed I was mysteriously loosing coolant with no drips of any kind on the ground. Eventually the crack opened and it was much easier to diagnose. Could also be a blown head gasket but usually thats more noticeable ( white smoke from the tail pipe)

I rebled my coolant and no more bubbling so I guess this was just airlock. It really puts the fragile state of our coolant loop in perspective for me.
