Dracokain Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I was checking out some thing under the hood to see if my fuel injector fiasco was over and I noticed there was coolant all over the place around the coolant reservoir. Also there seems to be leaking from the passenger's side of my radiator. Arg, should I get down there and check seals or would it just be better for me to buy a new radiator as soon as I can. I didn't see and exact spot in the area of the reservoir where the coolant might be coming from either.
jimoshel Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 First before you go throwing money away find out for sure where it's leaking.
SW86 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 x2 on what jim said. when you start it up (for the first time) pop the hood and watch it as it warms up. you should be able to spot the leak before it gets all over the place
Dracokain Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 After some testing and poking and prodding it seems that there is a crack near the neck of my coolant reservoir, also I noticed coolant near the bar that the trans mount is connected to. Seems pretty far away from the coolant tank so it seems plausible that coolant managed to travel down some hoses and wires and come out near the radiator. Not sure if that can happen but I'm going to replace the tank and see what happens. Thanks for the input everyone!
