2014 Genie 5519 Radiator keeps cracking and blowing out hydraulic fluid

2014 Genie 5519 Telehandler Bought this lift a couple of years ago.. Has about 1900 hours on the telehandler. Worked fine for a couple of years. Then the radiator/hydraulic cooler cracked and blows all hydraulic fluid out. We had the radiator core replaced and welded, reinstalled and worked fine for 10 hours. Then the same thing happened. Had it taken out and welded/repaired by a separate radiator shop and separate mechanic. Just got it back and within 5 hours, it has cracked again and leaking out all hydraulic fluid. VIDEO ATTACHED - Need some serious help as to what is going on. We are now going on $9,000 in repair costs plus tows and rentals. Thanks for the help! Video of the machine right when it happened the 3rd time: https://ufile.io/gj4w6jyn

    Look up the hydraulic schematic on the Genie website and see what could be supplying pressure to the cooler is where I would start.
