LEAKING COOLANT!!!!!111

[94REDMTX]

MY CAR HAS HAS THREE NEW RADIATORS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND JUST THIS SUMMER IT STARTED LEAKING COOLANT JUST WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD. ANY BODY KNOW WHAT COULD BE WRONG?(IT HAS A NEW WATER PUMP TOO)

Are you using distilled water in your coolant mix or just tap water? Is air getting into your system? Is you radiator cap new?

You must identify what is leaking to be able to fix it. We can't see it. You'll have to help yourself find the source of the leak. Why did you have to replace the other raditors? If they were all leaking, where were they leaking?

My guess is they are Modine radiators and the are leaking at the drivers side tank.

Wow, thats a definitive statement. And it helps this discussion none. Also, if they are modine radiators, they have a lifetime warranty, which means that if they are leaking from anywhere, you get a new one for free.

That's true but if they keep leaking there what good is the warranty? IIRC they are the OEM supplier of the poorly designed plastic/ w gasket crimped tanks.
