- Sat Oct 15, 2011 7:00 am #277819 Alright, i know there are a lot of questions about radiator leaks but i didn't find any about the leak that i have. So basically, i am losing coolant where the radiator and radiator hose are connected on top. So the coolant is dripping on the top of the fan. I bought a new hose and it's still leaking. I'm thinking its the radiator itself but i'm not sure, any help? thanks guy!

- Sat Oct 15, 2011 7:32 am #277822 check your radiator cap or do this when the car is cold spray around where it wet with brake cleaner then when ever thing is dry start the car and sit there 2 see where it starts leaking

- Sat Oct 15, 2011 8:06 am #277825 @lunaticracer21 thanks for the reply man! so what am i suppose to check if it is the radiator cap? if it's loose? if it's broken? and does it have to be brake cleaner?

- Sat Oct 15, 2011 11:09 am #277833 i agree, check your radiator cap. It could be time for a new one and they are inexpensive. Your radiator cap could be bent somewhere.

- Sat Oct 15, 2011 4:00 pm #277855 x2 check your cap, mine was doing the same thing a while ago. new cap-problem solved.

- Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:59 pm #277868 thanks for the reply guys! Checked the radiator cap and everything is fine. Found out that the long part that connects the radiator hose to the radiator CRACKED in half. which means i need to get a new radiator Does anyone know where i can get one? or if i were to upgrade, what should i upgrade to? really appreciate the help guys

- Wed Nov 16, 2011 5:37 am #281623 alright guys i can't believe this is happening but i'm still missing coolant every time i drive. And i was certain that the radiator was the problem. Anyways, this time, i'm not so sure where the coolant is leaking so i was wondering if there's any other hoses that coolant can leak out of? Will running my car and opening up the hood after show me where the coolant can be leaking out of? i know for a fact it's not a blown head gasket because there's coolant going all over my intake and every where else!

- Wed Nov 16, 2011 9:37 am #281631 i'd say let your car run while the hood is open and see if u have any leaks in the hoses because they expand and then harden when cold. Be aware that hot coolant is no bueno. Re-check all your hoses if u havent

Look here.. the hoses attached here

- Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:26 am #281727 hose every thing down and start it up when all is dry and just keep an eye on it till it starts to leak

- Wed Nov 30, 2011 2:51 am #283456 Alright guys sorry i haven't been updating with you guys but apparently, my uncle says i have no leak. We started up the car waited 20 mins and turned it off and waited for 10 min no drips whatsoever. My temp never goes more than half. That one tank that is filled up with coolant always goes missing and my uncle tells me it's natural for that to happen. Any suggestion guys?

- Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:57 pm #284705 Believe it or not guys, i had a leak where the upper hose clamp was.. Finally gave in and took it to a shop my mom recommended and next thing you know, guy said that i clamped the hose wrong or position the hose wrong... Some how hahaha! so if you guys ever have a leak look where you guys clamped it or position the tube
