1996 Acura Intagra coolant leaks from the top of radiator. Coolant inside the radiator seems OK only the coolant in the reservoir is used up. How do you fix?

Hopefully it's just leaking from either the radiator cap, or the upper hose. Either can easily be replaced. If the radiator itself is damaged, there's not a lot you can do. Replacement of the entire radiator is probably required. Seeing there's a bit of pressure in the cooling system a simple patch up job probably won't last long. You can probably put repair off for a while, but if there's a crack or hole in the radiator it will only get larger with time. Best of luck.

What is reservoir?
The reservoir is usually considered to be the tank which holds coolant. It feeds the coolant into the radiator when needed, and receives coolant from the radiator as is necessary. This is where you check and maintain the coolant level. Make sure the cap is on quite tight.
Where is the coolant level sensor on a 2004 Saturn Vue. In the radiator or the reservoir?
at the bottom of the coolant reservoir tank.
Is it normal for coolant water to go into the reservoir?
Yes- coolant reservoir is designed to accept excess coolant - As coolant heats up it will expand and flow to the coolant recovery tank (reservoir) and as it cools (contracts) it will be sucked back into the radiator
Do you add coolant to the reservoir or the radiator?
If there is a cap on the radiator you can check to see if the radiator is full , and if it isn't , " top up " the engine coolant . Otherwise , you check the engine coolant level at the engine coolant reservoir when the engine is cold and maintain the level at the cold mark
How do you put coolant back in the radiator in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT since there is no cap on the radiator.?
Add the coolant into the coolant reservoir. Be sure the engine is cool when you remove the cap off the reservoir.
What is the name on the car that holds the coolant?
There's the radiator, and there's also the coolant reservoir.
Do a 2000 Saturn SC2 have a radiator cap?
Yes; it's on the coolant reservoir. The entire coolant reservoir on the Saturns is pressurized.
Where do i put the ac coolant in an olds aurora?
The coolant goes into the reservoir only that says coolant. You don't put it in the radiator.
Why need auto radiator reservoir?
Engine coolant expands when heated. Heated coolant needs a reservoir to come and go as needed.
Where is the radiator cap on a 95 Mercedes c280?
There is not a radiator cap, there is a coolant reservoir and it has a plastic cap that controls the pressure in the coolant circuit.
Coolant pushing out from radiator back into coolant reservoir?
it is normal, when the coolant is hot and pressure built, the pressure cap allows the coolant to drain to reservoir to reduce pressure in the cooling system But, if it continually does this whereby the reservoir overflows and the vehicle overheats due to a lack of coolant actually in the radiator when cool, there may be an overheating problem or blown head gasket on the engine.
Were is the radiator cap on 1999 deville?
It would be on the coolant reservoir.
