Why central heating radiators work better if they are painted black?
The color black neturally magnifies heat.
Does colour affect the amount of heat absorbed?
Darker colors are better absorbers of light which makes them better radiators of heats. Object absorb light which is transferred to heat energy.
What are radiators made of and why?
In the early days radiators were made of brass and copper due to the superior heat dissipation the metals provide, they were very heavy and were soldered together. Newer cars have radiators made of aluminum with plastic/composite tanks mostly because it's cheaper and easier to manufacture and also because they are lighter, and the lighter the car is the better MPG and tail pipe emissions they will have.
Early settlers placed a diverging reflective surface behind oil lamps that were on walls why?

Where can there be a possible leakeage on a radiator on a Saturn L200?
Yes, radiators can leak. The newer style radiators do not leak as often as the solid brass radiators, but they still can occasionally leak. A qualified radiator shop can often repair a radiator, but you'll probably have better service from a new one.
