Default radiator

1992 sc300

took off the radiator cap to check the coolant
the neck of the radiator has brown coolant?
does this mean i need to replace the radiator?
if so where can i find a radiator for a great price?

thanks

Is the radiator leaking? If not, then no reason to replace it. Drain, Flush your cooling system, then top it off with some antifreeze coolant.
