Replace radiator or just upper hose?

What is your question?

Brought car in for coolant dashboard light warning. Toyota dealer diagnosed "Radiator leaking from upper outlet hose. Radiator will need to be replaced." Does the whole radiator need to be replaced or possibly just the upper hose? Seems like the cost difference could be +/- $200.

something don't sound just right here! an aftermarket radiator at a parts store is over $250.00? if you got one put in at the DEALER,it would be closer to $500.00! the top hose is around $25.00 if you buy it at a parts store. you may want to read your quote again..get other opinions,the DEALER is not the only folks that works on vehicles.
