Radiator leaking
So I need to change out my radiator for cracks at the driver side hose connection. I read that this is a common thing with these radiators. I’m looking at sourcing parts from fcpeuro because of their lifetime warranty. They have a behr and I assume a factory radiator available for sale. Is one better than the other?
I’m also going to change out the upper and lower hoses at the same time. I know they need o rings but is it only on the radiator side? Or at the engine also? I can’t find anything saying that the engine side gets them also.

It wasn’t to bad. I did have to remove the oil lines at the filter housing to get it out, but I barely lost any oil. Not a job at all.
