what is the difference between the rads? looking at them there is 4 different ones for turbo manual, turbo auto, n/a manual, n/a auto....
mine is weeping and i wanna fine the cheapest replacement possible but does it specifically need to be for a turbo manual or will one of the others fit and work the same??

Turbo manual - oil cooler for the engine on drivers side
Turbo auto - oil coolers both sides, one for engine the other for g/box
N/A manual - NO oil coolers
N/A auto - on the nearside for the g/box

thanks gents, my pc fried a couple hours after i posted this so i couldn't access anythin...
to be honest i'm not entirely convinced it is the rad, i've a feeling its the expansion cap not sealing as it came with a v40 cap on, it seems to push the water out through it and run down the inner wing and land on the plastic cover under the rad...
