Re: Coolant Leak Fun
Quote:
The exact same thing happened to me but I have no idea what to do about it. The leak seems to be coming from somewhere deep inside and since Im not a pro at fixing cars Im probably going to have to empty my pockets to get it fixed. Not only that but the main hose that connects with the radiator cap splot and blasted out steam. I really hope this wont be an expensive fix, I can't longer than for 13 minutes before my car starts overheating. |

Re: Coolant Leak Fun
When you have a leak, Find the leak and go from there!

Re: Coolant Leak Fun
O.k Radiator was replaced with a One from Subaru. It hasnt overheated and seemed o.k. I fixed (hope) the trans leak which the rubber hose was dry rotting. Thinking back I am not sure so much i was loosing coolant as it came out (a good amount) when I opened the radiator. Water pump dosnt seem to be leaking. and I don't think its a HG just the crack in the radiator caused problems

Re: Coolant Leak Fun
I had a strong smell of coolant for the past couple of months but never lost any coolant. A couple of days ago I noticed the upper rad. hose was balloned out so much that it was rubbing on the power steering line so I push the p/s line away from it and coolant leaked as soon as the pressure was off the hose. I am 100% sure this was where my coolant smell was coming from. The crack was less than a 1/4 in. in a zig-zag shape but it wasn't cut the whole way through on some parts. The p/s hose must have let fumes out but no coolant.
