Remove the Radiator and have it serviced if they are able to. If not you will need to replace it, would be a good time to replace the Radiator hose's as well.
Hope This Helps.

Where is the radiator drain plug on a 1998 Buick Regal?
There isn't going to be one. Loosen the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator. Don't feel bad, there are plenty of people out here upset about it.
AnswerActually that is not entirely correct. If you look from above the radiator, look hard enough to the bottom right side of it, and you should see a white "key-like" head peeping out from the rightmost lower corner. It is not easy to access it, but it is there.
I was looking for this drain plug and found this answer. On mine, it's not white and you can't see it. But you can feel it. It came out very easily once I figured out where it was, and it went in very easily. A little hard to get to; I scratched my arms up a little. Just feel around until you feel a small, flat tab-like thing. Turn it counter clockwise, and the drain plug pops out in your hand.

What is the proper way to flush a radiator on a 1997 Plymouth Voyager SE 3.3?
Dont try to flush the radiator... when you drain it and try to flush it, what you will be doing is breaking up all the old gunk in the radiator, by breaking it up, you will have no clue if its completely clean or not, so if the gunk is still floating around, it could go threw the engine and clog up the engine, making it over heat and really mess things up... now if you want to just change the coolant, the drain plugs are on the botton corners of the radiator, theres 1 or 2 drain plugs... i forgot how many, but it would be alot safer to change coolant, then to try to flush the radiator.

Where is the radiator drain plug located on a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo?

How do you replace the radiator hoses in a 1999 Toyota Avalon?
Each hose (there are only 2) has clamps on the end. Just loosen those & pull off. You will loose some water. Just add when finished so reservior is at proper level. A good parts house can look them up & supply correct size/length/shape. Replace each with a like hose & both attach to water pump.
The radiator symbol is showing but the reservoir is full what is the problem?
It could be one of several issues:
1. The sensor in the radiator overflow bottle is stuck, disconnected or damaged
2. The actual level of fluid in the radiator itself is low, perhaps caused by a blockage or interruption in the overflow tube that connects the radiator and the overflow bottle
3. The thermostat is stuck in the open or closed position, requiring a replacement of the thermostat
First things to check:
1. While the vehicle engine is COLD, check that the level of fluid in the reservoir does not exceed the COLD level.
2. Run the vehicle for 20 to 30 minutes of normal driving, then check the reservoir level. The level of fluid in the reservoir should be raised to the HOT level.
3. Let the engine completely cool for several hours. Check the reservoir level again. It should have dropped back down to the COLD level.
If the level in the reservoir does not change between the times the engine is cold and hot, you have a problem with your engine's cooling system. Wait several for the engine to completely cool, then open the radiator cap and verify that the radiator is full of fluid. Check the overflow tube that runs from the radiator neck to the reservoir bottle to ensure that it is free of obstructions.
Are you sure it is a antifreeze leak? If so ,stop leak will not help heater core leaks.But make sure that is the problem.
What does oil in a radiator of a 89 Honda Accord mean?
If its engine oil I would say head gasket or cracked head. Also check under the oil fill cap for a milky color. You can also run the car a few minutes remove the radiator cap see if it smells like gas . Most shops use what they call a sniffer but, Ive found that I can smell the exhaust in the radiator. More than likely head gasket answer is the car automatic? if it is , have your radiator checked to see if transmission fluid is leaking into radiator from oil tank at bottom of radiator if it is engine oil and not transmission oli, you have a cracked head allowing oil to seep into the water chamber a bad head gasket allows water into engine oil, not oil into water
What does a faulty rad cap do?
It lowers the boiling point of the coolant It could allow air into the system It could prevent proper coolant circulation
small brass tap located ontop of the pipe /hose to the heater core . small and brass must be bled while engine is running at operating temp
Is the cap marked engine coolant where you pour the antifreeze and stop leak?
That is the place; however, . . .
. . . unless you can afford to risk loss of use and/or expensive repairs, addition of stop leak products to the cooling system is not recommended. The number or engines brought to an early end by addition of cooling system stop leak additives is probably beyond estimation. But, if the car is near its end already (and you have alternative transportation) it might not hurt to try.
What kind of antifreeze do you use on Polaris Rzr Ranger?
Standard green anti-freeze 70%. Distiller water 40%.
How you bleed air out of cooling system?
You don't need to, as the coolant circulates, any trapped air will eventually make its way to the expansion tank and out of the system.
What causes overheating when radiator and thermostats checked and OK and fan OK?
There are a number of things that could cause the overheating issue. If the overheating happens immediately, it's probably the water pump. If this happens only when it's hot, see if it happens only when the AC is on because then it could be the an auxiliary AC cooling fan that has gone bad.
