MiNoahsPinkMartini Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 My car has steam coming from the radiator somewhere on the passengers side... Could it possibly just be a leak? I think john mentioned that he had repaired the radaitor before he sold me the car so I don't think it could be something worse. The car's just been a little hot. Problem solvers??

mudrat79 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hey Krissy, Look at the front edge of radiator on passenger side just over the edge from the top....That is where the other one developed its crack in the tank..... Keep the overflow bottle at least half full all the time till you figure it out.... Call me if you need me to explain it in more detail......

MiNoahsPinkMartini Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Why would it develop a crack in the same place? It doesn't have an overflow bottle at the moment... hmm.. might have to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudrat79 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Hey Krissy, Not saying its in the same spot, But you said Pasenger side, So I am assuming something similar......cause there is nothing on that side accept return line and Holding tank....... I have the Overflow bottle here, Austin was going to bring it up there for you.... Let me know what you find........John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 When I removed my radiator it was in three pieces! They have a habit of delaminating around the top seams and the top mounts. Radiator leaks are easy to find. When it's hot look for the steam running out. When they are cold look for the stains from the water leaking out. Good luck. 82 SubaruHummer, 3 piece radiator--$50 standard service fixed all problems. 01 Forester, blew the radiator by-pass hose on my "test drive" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
