2001 Maxima - Need new radiator
2001 Maxima GLE with Automatic transmission. Radiator appears to have a pinhole leak as I am seeing some fluid on the panel under the radiator. Also, caught a whiff of "burning coolant" at a stop light which is what brought me to look. The reservoir is practically empty (will top it off) and the radiator itself is full.
1. New upper and lower hoses replaced a year or so ago. Those are not leaking...especially the upper where radiator can crack,
2. Other hose connections to radiator also not leaking.
I checked nissanpartsdeal.com but I see this radiator core assembly is now discontinued. What's the best aftermarket radiator? Looking for good price and good quality.

OEM parts are always good, but some common generic things like radiators do not necessarily need to be OEM. Most of the aftermarket radiators are just as good as OEM, if not better. I bought a replacement from Advance Auto about three years ago, still going strong.
