Radiator leak on 97 ram 1500

[stonerab]

Radiator leak. I have a pinhole leak right at the bottom of this metal tube connecting to the engine. Pic include. Can it be replaced easily? Is it threaded on at the bottom? There is a lot of rust in the radiator as well. Thanks for any advice.

That tube has an o ring on it that seals it in the water pump. Might be that. Shouldn't be too hard to find a replacement. It just pulls out after loosening the tab that holds it in place

What does a leaking water pump heater tube have to do with a "radiator leak"?
