86subaru Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 on both my subaru's #1 86 spfi a/t fwd sedan, #2 gl-10 a/t full time 4wd wagon, they both seem to leak antifreeze alittle drips , only when it is cold outside { 20] or it could be the radiator ,so i went out there today to change the radiator in the gl-10 and it did not leak at all ,even drove it 20-30 mi at 75mph , seems kinda of odd , any thoughts ?

86subaru Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 also both water pumps were replaced w/ gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I would check your radiator hoses - don't forget the pipeing on the intake manifold, and the heater hoses too. Might be good to replace them..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardgabe Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 if you have the radiator with the plastic tanked ends then it could be that when its cold the tanks shrink and seep a little until warmed up .thats what my sidekick does. to lazy to change it right now trying to finish the brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 When the waterpumps were replaced did you replace the o-ring on the pipe that fits into the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
