OEM radiator
The radiator in my 75 is leaking in 2 places 1 where the inlet is soldered to the tank and 1 on the outlet tank about 2/3 down from the top. I pulled the rad yesterday and can't find any markings to identify it as being original. It is a 3 row brass copper unit and the only mark I have been able to find is a raised A4 on the passenger side tank. If it is the original I would get it repaired at a local shop but if it is a replacement put in when the car was restored in 98 I'll just buy another replacement. Getting the old one out really tested my patience and endurance so I don't want to do this twice. Thanks for your opinions.

Put in a replacement aluminium rad. You can buy one well under $400. Keep the other if it turns out to be the oem rad and you think it will increase the value of the car when you sell it. Probably not. Or just repair your leaks.
