Coolant leak developed

[362104]

I am guessing it happened Saturday night on the way home form work when it was like -15 degrees. Not really suprised by this considering I have the original hoses from 1994. I bet the pressure was off the chart.

I am taking her in Wed. to have pressure test done. Hopefully, it's nothing major, just a couple hoses replaced.

Anyone exp. issues with the CANADA like cold.

From where is it leaking, approximately? May Just be the radiator leaking around the plastic end tanks.

Lets hope its not the waterpump. But yes I have exterenced a leak in cold weather. And it was the radiator.

The leak is coming from the hose over by the coil pack that runs next to it.

Water Pump? Not you got me worried. lol

 

[black92]

The water pump is on the passenger side. Coil pack is on the drivers side. That hose is the upper radiator hose.

Yeah I thought mine was eating coolant because ever since I got it, it would SLOWLY go through coolant and it never smelt or left any marks when parked but when it got cold out it got a little worse and I found the leak on one of the hard lines on the back of the motor the coolant was just sweating out of it

You would have to remove the heads to investigate that right.

I passed on the pressure test. I ran her pretty hard down 41 last nite and leaky this morning. I eased up @ 110 mph.

I meant to say "No" leaks

it may have slushed up a bit do to the cold, causing a bit more pressure, which caused your leaky no more...
