Has anyone else had any problems with the Z radiator developing NUMEROUS pinholes?

I noticed I was loosing fluid cause it started leaving a small puddle on the floor. I thought it was a leak from the hose or something but it turns out it is from the pinholes in the radiator.

I had a small pinhole in the bottom of my Z's radiator. I got it soldered for $20 and it held up great.

The water pump leaks after time. yes it's know they do this when sitting. Their is a o-ring part for about $18 to fix it.

I know 2 others have the same problems...

Which o-ring do you mean? My water pump has developed a slow leak. Send me in the right direction so I can fix it soon.

This is exactly one of the reasons I may end up buying a 400EX instead of a KFX. Even if it's a little slower, there's no cooling system to worry about. Now imagine being in the middle of nowhere on a trail and having a problem.
