i've noticed a slight anti freeze leak in my 2004 545i over the past week, i took it to a friend whose a mechanic and lifted it up and we saw it was coming from the radiator, he told me it was a small leak from 3 different places. I was wondering if I should use the bar's leak radiator stop leak? if so would i pour it into the expansion tank or somewhere in the radiator?

any idea how much a new radiator would cost from bmw?
