SHOs before HOs
Ive had a coolant leak for a long time now, its never really been a problem, as its been cool enough up until recently. The only thing that keeps my car from over heating is the fan now that its 80+ out. Im not running without Any antifreeze, but everytime it warms up and i stop and shut it off, it ****** it all over, really bad.
I hadnt started my car in a couple hours and fired it up to line up with my cousins new whip. We ran twice, for a little less then a quartermile each time. When i came home and parked it, went in the house, got a bowl of life cereal, and came outside, i saw this.
I know it has a red tint to it in the pictures but its something to do with the camera, flash, lighting blah blah. I assure you its antifreeze.. 93supersho swapped a 3.0 from an 89 at a scrapyard into my 93 (my current motor). He also said the overflow is cracked. I have a hard time believeing a cracked overflow could **** antifreeze the way my car is. The reason im posting is because im not familiar with how the antifreeze flows. I know it ends up in the overflow, and radiator at some point, but inbetween there im clueless. Any guesses as to where it could be leaking from?
My first and scariest thought was waterpump but my cousin doesnt think so, he also guessed the overflow. ofcourse this is just an educated guess. (glancing around under the hood). He said it doesnt seem to be coming from the motor itself.
Any help would be appreciated, i pretty much just drive my car from work and back now because of the antifreeze issue, combined with the heat. No more pleasure cruising.
