  • Coolant Leak Neone Wanna Help

    I gotta figure out where its leaking from. if its the connection between the hose and the radiator. or the radiator itself leaking.
    it started leaking today again. it did it 2 weeks ago. a slow drip i had a small puddle during warm up
    but after it ws warmed up it was fine. iw as thinking it was the resevior overflowing. but well its not.
    so i have no idea.

    the only thing i can hope for is its the boots that connect the hoses to the radiator..
    i dont wanna buy a new radiator.
    if any one has time tomoro. i could use an extra hand figuring this out and a second opinion.

    thanks.
    so far im screwed it looks like i aint going to make race day april 1st if i cant solve this this weekend.

    you gotta let the car run and find out where its leaking from, should be pretty easy to find. If it is on the radiator support on the bottom it could be a hole in the radiator.

      if it goes away when it warms up i doubt its the rad... usually once its up to pressure it will shoot out the rad if there is a whole... if it seals up when its warm could be something as easy as the thermostat housing... when its cold it might leak a bit but once it gets hot the metal expands enough to get tight on the gasket and not notice the leak... ive had that happen before
