Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know how I'm gonna get the radiator fluid into the tube without it blowing all over the engine compartment and more importantly on the alternator. Could you explain in a little more detail??? I'm not very mechanically inclined. Why would a bad or blown head gasket cause radiator fluid to gush out of the radiator???? I really appreciate all the tips you have given me. Take care and have a great Thanksgiving David

Hello, It' been a while since I last posted. I am having problems with My soob. It has been overheating, so I put a new water pump and thermostat in it. This did not fix the problem. I've been adding pre-mixed anitfreeze every two days because it keeps leaking out????? The other day, it left me stranded and a pinhole leak formed in radiator. Marked the leak and had it patched. After I put everything back together and filled the radiator, I tried to start it to make sure the patch would hold. While the engine was turning, radiator fluid spewed out of the radiator all over the engine. I put the radiator cap on and turned the engine over and it spewed radiator fluid out from under the cap. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I know it's not supposed to, I just don't know why. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, :confused:

Hello, My name is David. I own a '93 loyale wagon, FI, FWD, 5MT. I have owned the car for about three years. The car is awesome in the winter time, especially when you are driving down a snow covered road and see dudes in big trucks and SUV's is the ditches. Any way, I just replaced the thermostat and water pump (the pump was a pain in the arse). Now the electronic fan quit working. The fuse is good and I don't see any bare spots in the wiring. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
