Price,
If the original radiator is copper (I've never owned a 9000 so don't know) they are pretty easy to seal up by soldering. All you need to do is remove the radiator, clean up the leaky area, and go to town with a propane torch/copper pipe solder. It will take a while to get the metal hot enough for the solder to take. If you're patient with it though, you should be able to fix it. Just an idea to save some money if that's a factor. Good luck
