'06 need's radiator...like NOW...HELP?

Pulled into the driveway this morning and bottom driver side of radiator is spewing antifreee. Seems to be the plastic end caps that are stamped/clamped to metal core of radiator. Is this common? And lastly where can I get one quickly?

On GM`s trucks there is a seal that you can replace. Are the dodges the same? My buddy just fixed his on his chevy.I wasn`t there but he said it was not a big job. I`d call a radiator shop & ask.

You are exactly right! But local dealers are asking anywere between $620-$750. I can get it from Moparparts.com out of Lakeland, Fl. for $420. I am looking for a fast repair until then. I'll just try some kind of leak additive.
