BIG Radiator Problem! 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be onebadm5 on  Thu Nov 15 05:16 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Well all, I had some cooling problems a while back, thought it was the

water pump and had that replaced. Truth be told, it was one of the

problems. This morning, as i got out of class and was heading to my car,

i saw a small puddle of coolant, and dismissed it as someone elses.

During the drive home, i noticed that the temp needle was around 9:00,

which is pretty abnormal, since it isnt a very long, straining drive,

and the ambient temp was pretty low. when i pulled into the driveway, i

popped the hood, only to see coolant sprayed all over the engine

compartment. I went to check the overflow, when i noticed somekind of

plug in the top corner of the radiator was half way out. as soon as i

touched it, coolant started spraying out. i immediately relieved the

pressure, and pushed it back in. The plug is at the drivers right of the

radiator, above the transmission cooler lines. What the hell is going

on? is it time for a new radiator, or can i do the shady mechanics job

and push that plug in, seal it with RTV, and wait? Thanks.
