There is a metal tube that runs under the intake manifold. It goes from the back of the water pump to the rear of the engine where it changes to a rubber heater hose. That metal tube is known to rust out and leak coolant. The intake manifold must be removed to gain access to the tube for replacement.
No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
On a 1998 Lincoln Continental : The thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap . The engine coolant reservoir is in your engine compartment , towards the passenger side of the engine compartment
The ENGINE coolant reservoir is on the drivers side of the engine compartment next to the firewall
The 1994 Lincoln Town Car 4.6 liter engine coolant drain plugs can be found on each side of the engine block. There will be a total of four engine coolant drain plugs.
The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment , on the drivers side , near the firewall
On a 2005 Lincoln LS : ( the thread on cap on your engine coolant reservoir is the pressure cap / radiator cap ) * the engine coolant reservoir is on the drivers side of the engine compartment , by the firewall
Coolant from radiator? Run engine to normal operating temperature -remove transmission dipstick and let a drop fall on hot part of engine, oil will "smoke" coolant will "sizzle" If so a bad radiator allow transmission fluid from cooler lines to get mixed with engine coolant
coolant leak between motor and transmission indicates you have a leaky freeze plug in the rear of the engine block
The coolant temperature sensor on a 1997 Lincoln Continental is located on top of the engine, near the upper radiator hose. It constantly relays the engine's temperature to the computer.
Yes. The transmission fluid is cooled by a separate set of cooling lines in the radiator that cools your engine. If the radiator has an internal leak, cross-contamination may indeed occur. Only a little amount of engine coolant in your transmission can cause a transmission malfunction.
On a 2002 Lincoln LS : The engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment , next to the firewall . According to a drawing I was looking at there is some kind of trim piece over the top of it , but the trim piece has a hole in it to gain access to the engine coolant reservoir cap
According to a drawing in the 2000 Lincoln LS Owner Guide : The engine cooling fan fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment , it is between the engine and the passenger side of the engine compartment * it takes Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid , fill to MAX line on reservoir
