Your Cadillac Seville radiator is a central part of your cooling system, essential to the function of your vehicle. Without your radiator doing its part to cool the extreme temperatures under the hood that result from the fuel burn and the running of the engine, the seals and gaskets could melt away and metal parts could be warped and cracked. Located just behind the grille, so it has full access to the flow of air that passes through it when the vehicle is in motion, air that helps it to serve its purpose, your radiator cools the liquid coolant after it has made its way through the engine absorbing the heat from the hot metal surfaces.
The heat of this liquid is dissipated by the radiator, out into the air, via a surface area that is increased by small metal fins, and then the coolant is cycles through the engine again, absorbing more heat and returning to the radiator to be cooled again. The metal of your Cadillac Seville radiator has to be thin in some places in order to perform this task, the tubes by which the coolant travels through it and the fins that help to release the heat, which leaves it a bit vulnerable to problems from corrosion over time, both on its inside and outside.
The flow of air through the grille sometimes carries moisture, which can be trapped against the radiator by leaves and insects that make their way in and tangle in the fins, causing the surface to rust. Rust can also form on the inside of your radiator and in addition to the usual danger of rust – eating straight through it – that rust can flake off as the coolant passes through and form clogs in the curves of the tubes, interfering with the performance of your radiator.
