if you go to the actual page there are others talking about the problems they had as well. Probably not the most reliable, but enough for make to think twice. Mainly because im anal about spending money lol. If people are giving it good reviews on this forum then that is probably a better source than youtube
I had a mishimoto leak from exactly the same spots with the same "coolant smell but could never find a leak"

I just buy OEM radiators now.

Don't be too hard on yourself, this kind of thing happens to everyone eventually.
