Buy a new one, and make sure if the vehicle has a 3.8 v6 to have the headgasket checked..

Expensive, about $800. The nose has to be removed in order to replace the radiator. A good body man can help.

If You want a quick fix, you can use JB cold weld you can buy it at any auto parts place like checkers or pep boys... it's like 6 dollars and I don't know if its permanent but it's working for me so far.

How do i fix a Lesabre brake fluid radiator that is leaking?

I am unaware of the existence of a brake fluid radiator? There is Brake Fluid made by Radiator that goes into the Master Cylinder. I assume what is leaking is the master cylinder. If that is the case it is inexpensive to just replace the whole thing. Buy one at the autoparts store. Unscrew the brake lines running into the side of it. Then unscrew it from the power booster. Install new one and bleed the brakes. The whole thing should cost less than $50 and take less than an hour. (Make sure you buy a large bottle of brake fluid while at autoparts store or you will have to walk back to it)

It all depends on what size engine you have in it, if you have a 383 or larger I would get a 3 or 4 core radiator, a radiator shop can use your old radiator tanks and build you a new radiator pretty cheap.

Heater core is possible, coolant could be leaking externally onto engine and giving off that smell. Ruptured, cracked or leaking bypass hose; Ruptured, cracked or leaking heater hose; Worn or damaged radiator cap; Rusted, corroded, or damaged radiator may be leaking antifreeze/coolant; Loose, damaged, or faulty radiator drain plug; Worn or damaged cooling fan motor or circuit; Thermostat stuck closed; Cracked or leaking water outlet/hose; Damaged, worn or leaking water pump; Leaking or defective heater control valve; Freeze plugs are cracked or leaking. to smell burning anti freeze it would need to be leaking onto engine. most likely a small leak in a coolant hose somewhere, and even if it is heater core , it is sure not going to cost 500 bucks a heater core doesnt even cost 100 bucks to buy and they are easy to install
