The bolt behind the reflex on the side cover on the radiator has ben some loose. A viberation has ocured, some part of the register cover has been scratching my radiator and during a long ride down europe this week, a leak showed. It's not the register itself, but the edge right beside it.
The radiator is okay for the rest.

So, the question.......... is it the radiator made of aluminium,  steel or what ?

It was fixed by Loctite 3455  ( Poxymatic Aluminium) back then ( 4-5 days / 1000 miles back) and I have seen no leaks later and the water level is 100% okay.

I am wondering if I should have it welded, soldered, replaced.....or just leave it as it is when it seems okay now ....
