Radiator/Coolant Issue
Hello all,
Just purchased a 95 civic coupe si. The top of the radiator by the cap, the plastic has cracked and leaks. Is there a way to temporarly repair this so i can drive about 150km home?? Like put some epoxy over it?
And in checking the overflow tank, the coolant seems to be milky? (from what my dad told me). The said the oil looks ok. what could be the issue? Would the leak in the rad be the problem?
Thanks

Re: Radiator/Coolant Issue (C00kiemunstr)
depends if it looks like chocolete milk or strawberry shake. if it looks like choco shake it is your head gasket.
if youhave an auto trans and it is strawberry shake it is your trans cooler in the rad.
check for that before you replaced the radiator.
