1995 Eldo Radiator Malfunction Identified: Need Help!!

I previously reported a radiator issue. The Caddy dealer in Yokosuka advised there is a plastic drain mechanism at the lower right area of the radiator, and that the plastic piece has deteriorated, causing the leak/release of coolant. As I stated before, the coolant flows out perfectly from a small factory-hole under the radiator. The dealer recommends replacement of the radiator, $1,700.00. Really need some assistance. Otherwise I will sell this car, with 53,000 original miles. Can the plastic be replaced without replacement of the entire radiator? Any experienced advice is appreciated.

Ranger,

Can you believe the labor involved? I wasn't a math major but...if the petcock costs $5.00, and the most expensive of new radiators $150.00, the Cadillac dealer intended to charge $1,545.00 in labor. I'm taking a photo of the condition of the radiator/petcock tonight, as I 'have' to assume a corroded radiator loosened the fitment of the pet cock which then dislodged. What do you think?
