subegrl Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I had my timing belt changed at 190k and I'm at 203k right now. Yesterday my engine temp went up (not to the red) and I checked and found that my radiator was about a half gallon low. I am hoping it is a leaking hose. What hoses are there and what should I get replaced, they are old. Please Lord not a head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 What is your car? If it is a hose leaking, usually there will be some signs ( puddles, staining etc. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Start with a new radiator cap. Usually with your symptons and history thats what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subegrl Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Sorry, 01 Forester. No, I have not seen puddles or smelled anti-freeze. The oil looks fine. I will try the radiator cap first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
