  • Need some help leaking coolant

    So as the title says I noticed today that my car is leaking coolant. I come out from work today and theres a small puddel at the passenger side front of my car. At first I think nothing of it figur its a parking lot its pop or who knows what els. But I look when I get home and there is fluid coming out. So I'm like O S@#T and the hell is that. I climb under neath the car and there is coolant coming out the radiator over flow line? So my question is dose any one have an idea what has gone wrong? I need this car running strait by monday luckly I got sunday off. Now when I was driving the car it was not over heating and I didn't notice any fluid leaking when I first started the car but then again I was not realy looking. Any help would be very apreciated.

    Thanks

    Its only leaking out of the overflow line? Not too familiar with the 4th gens, is the line at the top of the radiator? If so and your radiator is full you should be ok for a little bit. Is it a rubber hose? Mine on my 2nd gen is rubber and at the highest part of my radiator. I would replace that line if that's where it's leaking from.

      Yep only leaking from the over flow I can see it coming out the tube at the bottom of the radiator. Theres the inflow thats rubber and the return again rubber see no coolant coming from them. Then there is a third line the over flow line that comes out from next to the cap runs down the back of the radiator and just ends at the bottom of the radiator and that is where the fluid is coming out.
