any decent radiator shops around? They should be able to fix it no problem and probably won't cost much

Yep, thats exactly what happened. My 86 z's clutch cable was beginning to do the same thing. Caught it before it went through though. Put a small bead of GOOP adhesive in that area so now it rides against the pliable adhesive. Did this at least 4 years ago and have never had a prob.

Yah, happened to me as well. Took off the rad, cleaned it fully and used JB weld and never had another problem on my old spare 86
