I have replaced the radiator in my 95 Acura Integra 4 different times due to leaks - I have taken it to multiple shops each time and no one can give me a good explanation as to why I keep having to do this - they just keep replacing them and then they run fine for about a year and then it happens again. Any ideas?

Doesn't appear to be from anything damaging the radiator although the leaks are usually from the bottom of the radiator but there are no large holes or anything - you can just see the coolant leaking out the bottom

Are the radiator 'tanks' plastic?
maybe they are getting stressed somehow and cracking.
You may have better luck with the metal type of radiator...

Where are the leaks coming from? Do they even show you the cause of the leaks? May be a case of something damaging the radiator.

i also have a 1995 integra ls, had the same problem, once because the plastic pins in the bottom broke and another because of the bumper bracket causing pressure, resulting in a leak, best way is to get it yourself, put it in yourself (not too difficult), and check for any areas it could be getting damaged, and be sure not to ruin the pins on the bottom at all. hope that can help

I have been to multiple shops ?? what shops ?? If you are going to an auto repair shop I would bet they dump some stop leak in it and you get a repair bill. right ?? Take your car to a RADIATOR SHOP and have it repaired properly.
