Default Radiator leaking BAD, need help!

Radiator is leaking from the bottom, looks like bushings or something. There are two one on each side, the driver side is leaking. How would I replace them?

If its not a hose or the petcock, you need a new radiator.

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, bushings don't leak. Those are to control vibration between the body of the car and the radiator.

Best best, go use the loan-a-tool from the parts store, get a Radiator Pressure Tester. Car off, pressurize it and then look/listen for the leak. Could be a hose, could be a radiator.
