The only way to fix that problem is to buy a new radiator. Your old one has cracked around the fitting.
The coolant enters the engine by way of the lower radiator hose and exits the engine by way of the upper radiator hose.
In a 2001 Chevy Tracker, the coolant flows through the radiator from the top to the bottom. The hot coolant from the engine enters the radiator at the top, where it dissipates heat as it moves down through the radiator tubes. Once cooled, it exits from the bottom of the radiator and returns to the engine to continue the cooling cycle.
Place something to catch the engine coolant beneath your 1990 Chevy Corsica radiator. Remove the radiator drain plug with a 9/16 ratchet. The engine coolant will drain out.
To flush the coolant on a 2006 Chevy Equinox, first, ensure the engine is cool, then remove the radiator cap and place a drain pan underneath the radiator. Open the petcock at the bottom of the radiator to drain the old coolant completely. After draining, close the petcock, fill the radiator with a coolant flush solution and water, run the engine to circulate the solution, then drain it again. Finally, refill the radiator with the appropriate coolant mixture and check for leaks.
Fill the radiator through the coolant resivour, which is on the passenger side engine compartment.
Connected to the upper radiator hose. Coolant flows from the engine to the radiator to be cooled. The coolant temp. sensor should be screwed into it.
To fill the radiator in a 2005 Chevy Cobalt, first ensure the engine is cool, then locate the coolant reservoir and the radiator cap. Remove the radiator cap and, if necessary, the reservoir cap, and pour a 50/50 mix of coolant and water directly into the radiator until it's full. Replace the radiator cap securely, then check the coolant level in the reservoir and add more if needed. Always check for leaks after refilling and run the engine to circulate the coolant, topping off as necessary.
To bleed the coolant system of a 2004 Chevy Express, start by ensuring the engine is cool and the radiator cap is removed. Fill the radiator with coolant to the top, then start the engine and let it run with the heater set to max heat. As the engine reaches operating temperature, keep an eye on the coolant level and add more as needed to prevent air pockets. Once the thermostat opens and the coolant circulates, any trapped air should escape, and you can replace the radiator cap securely.
In a 2004 Chevy Malibu with a 2.2L engine, the coolant flow starts from the engine block, where it absorbs heat. The heated coolant then moves to the radiator through the upper radiator hose, where it releases heat to the air. Once cooled, the coolant returns to the engine via the lower radiator hose to continue the cycle, aided by the water pump, which ensures proper circulation throughout the cooling system. The thermostat regulates this flow by opening and closing based on the engine's temperature.
Open the radiator cap when engine is cool. Coolant should be right at the top. If the cooling system is healthy, the coolant reservoir will keep the system full.
It goes in through the lower radiator hose, and out through the upper.
The coolant temp sensor screws into the thermostat housing. This is located where the top radiator hose connects to the engine.
