This recently happened to me as well. Crack in the same exact place. It wouldn't leak while driving but once I stopped it was like a flood. After searching the net like crazy I ended up picking up a radiator from oreilly's and of course it is the wrong one. The radiator was about $200 bucks so I was happy until I found out that the right side of some of the aftermarket ones said they fit my 2002 A4 but in fact did not. I ended up finding one oem from a chevy dealer for 5 bills after calling 20 or 25 dealerships in the state of Texas. But it slipped right in after some finessing and now it runs like a champ. In my opinion just find an oem one online or at a dealer or spend a little more and get the dewitts. I would have done this but only had a day before I had to get back on the road so was in a bit of a time crunch. Sorry that it happened to you too though!
