Like Streetglower said, if the insurance is paying, get a new one!!!
Otherwise check for leaks, I generally get a large piece of cardboard, pull the front of the car over it after I have driven it for while and let it set on top of the cardboard for a while (overnight if possible). Then check for wet or discolored spots that wre not there before, helps if you have a garage too. I was fooled into replacing a raditor once, when the dog next door unrinated on the cardboard.
