Pulling my hair out of this radiator

[highvan]

Ok, a few weeks back, my radiator started leaking, so i tried the stop leak stuff, with no help, so i ordered a new radiator from autozone a visteon, well i hook my fans up to it and get it in the car and hook it al up, but when i started to put the antifreeze in, it starts pouring right back out the bottom I have no idea where it's leaking from, but it's seems to be coming out the bottom passenger side corner. could it be the new radiator is bad? Or am i missing something? I did notice that the overflow bottle is filled to the top and also with that, how does the overflow bottle hook up? I notice that after i put the new radiator in (for the second time) the overflow came off of what it was hooked to, now it just sits beside the raidaor not attached to anything, it just moves up and down freely. I hope i can get some help on this one, cause i'm lost and i'm about to lose it

My overflow tank just sits there and the line hooks up by the thermostat I think(to lazy to go check). The core could be bad, I never usually buy parts like that from part stores. I got a koyo from ebay for $100 and works great. Check the end tanks to see if the fluid is coming out where it connects to the core. There also is a fan sensor and a drain plug located on the bottom. Check these also

Everything seems to be hooked up correct, so it might be the core... which pisses me off if it is, cause i've had to wait all week to get my car going again and now it looks like i might have to wait even longer. I was going to go the ebay rought, but i needed my car back fast and sometimes ebay things take much more then a week to get mailed to me, so i tried the autozone thing, but it's not looking to hot. I did notice that there is two holes on the bottom where it looks like you could screw some type of hose or whatnot into (and it's not the drainpipe one) but it don't seem to be leaking out of them, just out of the very bottom passenger side corner

Mine had two hoses on it that went to the auto transmission. I pulled it from a car at the junk yard. Anyhow long story short, I capped off the two hoses to make sure nothing leaked out and nothing has so far. You might have gotten an auto transmission radiator somehow. Just a thought.
