so i replaced the raditor

it doesnt overheat ne more

im pretty glad with that.

but this morning when i woke up i noticed a puddle of raditor fluid under my car.

what the hell could be leaking raditor fluid now?

 

just pop your hood to find out, probably a small hose or something. Shouldnt be too hard to find.

 

i would start the car and just go over everything you touched and everything you didn't touch. it can only be coming from so many places. i would check all of them.

 

yeah im going to do that today.

hopefully its a hose.

do you think it could be ne thing else?

 

More then likely it will be a hose, unless your waterpump has a real bad case of ghastritus.

 

check that stupid thing that brings coolant to the TB if your motor has it. Thats leaked on me a bunch of times.

 

probably a hose

 

check the heater hose they usally crack or break at the clamp

 

check the butterfly thingy on the side to the left on the radiator

 

I would check the hoses and then look at the water pump.... Mine went one day without even giving any notice or anything...

 

Also check the drain plug on the radiator

 

i took it for a cooling system pressure test.
it came out fine.
no leaks.
i know that my resever tank that is attached to my car has a hole in it.
also it overfills when i have no water in it.
is it supposed to be doing that?

 

how can the tank overfill when it is empty?

 

well itll over flow when i put water in the raditor.

idk its a weird thing with my cooling system

 

check the radiator cap

 

the radiator cap is fine.

i just bought it like a week ago

 

Start the car with the radiator cap off, when cold and look for bubbles.
If it has a blown head gasket it will fill the overflow.
If you see bubbles it has a blown gasket.

 

but if it has a blown head gasket wouldnt it have coolent in the oil or even in the radiatior?

 

Not allways might be a small leak, could be just blowing into the water galley

 

hmmmm but when i took off the valve cover and chaged the valve cover gasket i didnt see cream or ne thing. also wouldnt i know it from the pressure test? i mean i left the tester on there for like 2 mins and nothing happened.


how hard is it to replace?
