    Bad radiator? Need 2nd opinion please!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    so i have been having some steaming from my A4's grill as of lately and a slight loss of coolant over time. About 2 days ago i had a low coolant light come up so i filled up the coolant resevoir. All of the sudden since i have filled the resevoir i started having a real big leak in the front of the car with it running. So i got a flashlight and i looked under the car to locate the leak but i was unable to find the exact location of the leak but i notice the coolant pooring off the front motor mount in the middle of the radiator. Im assuming its the radiator because there is no other coolant lines near it and the rad hoses are fine!
    So my question is does this sound like a bad radiator? and what is involved with taking it out to replace it?
    thanks -mike-
