 While the engine of your Cadillac is running, the inefficient nature of the internal combustion process allows a large amount of heat to be generated. Without the Cadillac radiator to cool the engine, expensive and serious damage could occur to it, such as melted oil seals or warped heads. While the engine is running, the water pump forces coolant into the engine, where it absorbs heat. The coolant then travels into the Cadillac radiator to be cooled with the flow of air over the unit. The cooling fan draws air over a series of thin metal tubes in the center of the radiator, which are covered in hundreds of fins to increase the surface area.
 As heat radiates from the coolant into the metal, the air carries the heat away, and the coolant is returned to the interior of the engine to absorb more heat. There are many things that can decrease the efficiency of this process. A low coolant level in the Cadillac radiator can allow a portion of the radiator to go unused. A clog within the unit can have the same effect, and this is normally caused by corrosion. These problems are easily fixed by maintaining the proper fluid level and by flushing the Cadillac radiator once a year. If the radiator has a serious leak however, the unit may have to be replaced.
