I have a 1992 Type252 T3 Syncro van (VIN *WV2zzz25NG000942*)
with an MV series Digifant engine which I have owned for the past
three years.  It has now done 165,000km and the radiator has sprung
a very small and slow leak at the bottom on the right side.  There is
the tell-tale white deposit of dried-up coolant around the leak area.

I am not used to modern cars with radiators, having owned air-cooled
VWs since 1968.  Can this radiator be repaired by an ordinary
radiator repair workshop?  Or, do I have to buy a new one?
