ihateallmustangs Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I started my cutlass this morning to find the low coolent light on. I drove to work no overheating so I figured I would add (almost an hour of driving). I get to work and there is a small spill under the driver side fog light. I can't see a direct leak and the car does not overheat. It only seems to leak after the car is turned off. I have a rad from a camaro here is it possible to use that? It looks as if it could work. I have dual fans and so did this camaro rad/w auto trans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediabandit Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 i am having the exact same problem with my Z34. i had a look earlier and it seems that it is leaking from the top of the rad where the hose attaches. i will pull it off and replace it tomorrow and use a better clamp.have a look at yours. it may be the same thing. it doesn't leak once it is started or driving, it only leaks when you shut it off and the coolant drains back into the rad. atleast that is what mine seems like.

ihateallmustangs Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Update it does not appear to be from the hose. But slowly seeps out from the top of the rad. I found a whole regal GS for $100 so I will buy it , take what I need and scrap the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateallmustangs Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Update! Pulled the rad! There was a crack on the backside (behind) the neck which was making it look like the hose was leaking. Got one for $40 at the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per0781 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 did the plastic crack causing the leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateallmustangs Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 did the plastic crack causing the leak? Yeah actually I noticed that a symptom is a small crack at the side in the plastic. I guess from age. Mine is stock and my car has a ton of miles on it. If anyone is interested in this GS drop me a line. The guy would not let me take parts from it in his driveway , he wants the whole car gone.
