5th Gen drivers...

When putting the front end back together, i noticed that radiator was leaking. When i say radiator, i mean the small tiny one that curls around.
Am i right in saying its the Air Con rad?

If so, is it difficult to remove?

If its the air con one, no its not. De-gas the system and just generally, remove it all.

Is there not a belt that needs changed with a shorter one, once the air con is removed? :? :?

It sounds like the PS cooler to me. I'd get that looked at quick as you dont want all your fluid leaking out and burning out the pump ;).
