The car just spit out a bunch of coolant. It's never leaked any before and is not leaking any now (Put more in). Just spit some out and that is that. Whats the deal? I seem to remember both my 92's doing this and nothing came of it.

Is it coming out the reservoir or a hose? Also if it is a hose turn the heat on if there is a leak in a heater hose it may not leak unless the heat is on.

This just recently happened to me. I had to replace the hose that went from the hardlne behind the intake to the heater core. You could only see if it was leaking with the car running and pressing on the hose.

That wouldent wouldnt make sense if it was leaking from the front of the car ?

The heat was on full blast and my dad said it came the very front on the driver side. Heater hose?

I sprung a leak on a roadtrip like that, but it would spit rad fluid everytime i parked the car id have a puddle under it, but not while driving, if it did while driving it was a drip.
It was that U shaped rad hose thats like 6-8 inches long when straightened out. toward the bottom of the motor. its worth checking out because its cheap and easy to get to, and it was on the front of the motor, i think closer to the driver side.

I would check not only the oil cooler line (easy enough, if there is anything wrong with either connection there, you will see a green goober on the hose itself)

Also check the black plastic side tanks on the radiator where its crimped to the aluminum.
