soulds like you have a pinhole leak in one of the cooling fins.

Yeah sounds like a little leak to me.

Should I be very concerned with this. Will the little pin hole become big hole if I don't do something for it.

RE: limited-slip differential?

Yes it will. I would look into having it rebuilt.

throw some radiator stop leak in it for now, the kind that is a bunch aluminum shavings. it comes in a little tube about two and a half inches long

RE: attn: 90xjay

Be aware of the fact the alumaseal or whatever it is called could make for a sticky thermostat, and I blame it for a waterpump in a Toyota 4x4 I had many moons ago.

If you use it, flush and fill the system soon after it does it's magic

That alumaseal stuff is crap!! It will only hold for a few weeks at best, at least that's been my experience. I've had better luck with Bars Leak. Heck, I've had better luck with using a raw egg!! (trust me on the egg thing, it works)

RE: Temperature question

I've fixed said problem one time by gooping some high temp liquid weld type stuff over the hole. I pushed it through the radiator so it not only adhered, but also had a grab. It never leaked after that
