Radiators

It's probably the metal "T" fitting where the heater hoses are connected. I had to replace the fitting with a plastic one after the original metal one started to corrode. It would leak tiny streams of water when the temperature reached a normal level. The fitting is under the hood near the steering column.

Purchase one gallon of antifreeze from your local auto parts store and mix it with one gallon of clean water for a mixture of 50/50. This mixture will protect from freezing down to -34 degrees F.

i just researched this and learned that there is one built in with the condenser. we are looking to add a bigger one to increase our tow capacity. aamco transmissions will be putting one on for us. 2007 caravan sxt

The water pump could have quit working. The water would overheat and overflow through the coolant reservoir.

I was losing water and couldn't find it until i noticed there is a water line that runs underneath the exhaust manifold that has a 1" aluminum fitting that had came loose and was sending the water to the exhaust manifold so it was evaporating as fast as it was leaking.. You have to pull the exhaust manifold back (i had to take the fans off due to a 50 trim turbo) and tighten the bolt.

If it doesn't have a bleeder screw on top of thermostat housing that can be opened alowing some antifreeze to escape. (some do) I would loosen the upper radiator hose and run vehicle until thermostat opens and antifreeze starts coming out -- careful it will be hot. Or loosen one of the hoses going into the heater core and again let water flow for a couple of sseconds. T avoid this problem, when filling cooling system, do so slowly allowing air to escape during fill procedure.

i would say 18-22 pounds. should work fine...

The only way to find out is to have a look it could be anything.

Look either at the bottom of radiator or on the rear of the radiator bottom

Yes, it could be the pipe that runs between the heads.

You may have an air lock. Drain your fluid again, out the peacock valve on the bottom of the rad and remove the lower rad hose from the engine block. Now reattach your hose and seal up the peacock valve. Pour coolant into the rad until you can see the fluid level (flashlight helps) then stop. Now start your vehicle with the cap still off the rad watch as the pump moves the fluid, continue to add fluid until the level no longer goes down. Beware coolant may splash up and out use long gloves and eye protection if you wish. Once the level no longer decreases be sure to add the remainder of the manufactures required coolant into the overflow. If there is a full or add line on that overflow reservoir check and add coolant later if necessary. At some point the coolant should level off otherwise you may have a leak somewhere. If all this does not work your heater core maybe plugged or leaking. Mine had not been working for a while and when i tried to fix it there had been a mouse living in there and blocked the whole unit and ate through the heater core. For starters you want to make sure the water pump is functioning and thermostat is working.

either your low on anti-freeze or the thermostat is broken. i just changed my thermostat today and i cost $11 so it won't hurt to get it replaced even if your not sure its broken.

I do know of a solution to this problem. If the crack is just a small one there is a tablet you can get at any Automotive Repair store. It's called Radiator Repair its a small "tablet" you drop in your radiator and let the car run, as it warms up you will notice the crack disappear. Other than that JB Weld is a good bet if you know where the leak is generating from.

u need to take both the radiator hoses off the radiator and take a water hose to the top inlet. leave the cap on it. and let water run through it to flush it out.

hi there, i dont own this type of car but i am a mechanic, (only in my own time) so i can educate you on all cars in general, ok! if you look underneth any car at the bottom of the radiator and there is no BUTTERFLY/WING NUT sometimes metal but mainly plastic, then how to empty the radiator is to undo the bottom hose. this answear not only your question for this car but for all cars, ok! TAKE NOTE DO NOT CHANGE WATER WHEN ENGINE IS HOT YOU MAY BURN YOURSELF, AND ALSO NEVER FILL UP A HOT ENGINE WITH COLD WATER YOU CAN BLOW THE HEAD OR HEAD GASKET.

2 bolts near the top of the fan assembly. However these do not fail often. More often the fan control module (or some call it the Relay, but it is solid state) fail. It is very common in this series of vehicles.

i would go to your local auto parts store and ask them for a raidiator flush kit. it should be a bottle of chemicals that you run through your raidiator and then drain it and replace your coolant. it should have all the directions you need on the bottle

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

trying this myself at the moment. im working on a 1994 escort, so chances are the coolent system is very similer to yours. took me about 2 hours too disconnect the old one. you need jacks by the way. then another hour to put the new one in and connect it. then you have to flush the system which will take alittle while. and you should be done. i would say this is pretty hard only cause i have very little experience with cars but it can be done. goodluck

If no reservoir, have you checked the side of the raditor for a filling point? probably there same as an old 306

If you have a "Leak" from the cap either the cap needs to be replaced or the top of the Radiator is damaged.

It is normal for thermal expansion (water gets bigger when hot) to cause the coolant to go into the expansion tank when cars is hot and to be drawn back into the radiator as the engine cools

Sounds like you need a new water pump or you could have air in the cooling system
