      I had a similar situation with my 07' Aveo. I was driving back to Kentucky from Michigan when the radiator started spewing all over the place. I pulled off at the nearest gas station and found the leak. As a temp. fix i put stop leak in it and got home. About a year later, it started back up again stronger than ever. I decided it was time to replace the radiator. When I pulled the fan shroud off i noticed that it was not seated properly in the brackets on the bottom of the shroud. As a result the shroud was pushed up against the radiator and the fan nicked the radiator and caused the leak. I put the new radiator in, make sure the shroud was sitting properly on the drop in mounts and I have not had a problem since.

      Good luck with it.

      In my case the shroud was what had pierced the radiator. I know the replacement is spaced properly and well seated.
