If the radiator was not fitted in properly or the pipes were not attached correctly, the radiator would leak.

Most likely a film on the inside of a windshield is caused by an engine coolant leak within the heater core.
How to fix leak in coolant system?
A leak in a coolant system can usually be fixed by replacing a hose. If the leak is at the end of the hose, a new clamp might be necessary. If the radiator is leaking, the radiator might need to be replaced.
Where can there be a possible leakeage on a radiator on a Saturn L200?
Yes, radiators can leak. The newer style radiators do not leak as often as the solid brass radiators, but they still can occasionally leak. A qualified radiator shop can often repair a radiator, but you'll probably have better service from a new one.
Will pepper stop your radiator leak?
Ground Black Pepper will, in deed, stop a small radiator leak. I've done it many times. I've NOT experienced any bad effects from doing this. If (when) leaks persist, it is time for a new radiator.

In my 2002 Mazda Millenia my radiator was replaced yesterday immediately afterward I had a pool of antifreeze on my passenger floor from the heater core...Are these 2 things related or coincidence?
A coolant system pressure test should have been performed before work was done to determine exactly where the leaks were located. If the leak in the radiator was big, the leak in the heatercore probably would not appear. once the new radiator was installed, the pressure may have caused a new leak in the heatercore. With that said, there may have been two leaks all along, or once one leak was fixed another leak surfaced. Install a new heatercore, and have a pressure test done. Answer 1 is correct and thorough, but there is one other possibility. There initially could have been only one leak,in the radiator, BUT the heater core may have been corroded almost to the point of failure, and just coincidently failed after the radiator was replaced. The simple act of removing the old, leaking radiator, and replacing it with a new one, should not have caused the heater core to fail. However, if it was READY to fail, the increased operating pressure within the system, due to the leaking radiator being out of the equation,certainly could cause the failure. j3h.

Unless your radiator has a leak, the radiator fluid stays in the radiator.
