I had to replace mine at abpout the same milage (220,000.kilometeres)Better
to replace .Its old and has already gone in one area , if you repair that
problem it is sure to spring a leak elsewhere not too far down the road.
Replace your upper and lower rad hoses at the same time along with the
antifreeze if necessary.

Since the antifreeze is basically drained anyway, it makes sense to
flush and fill with fresh stuff. I'll take a close look at the hoses
and thermostat, too. Thanks.
