coolant and engine problems 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Fri Mar 29 06:43 CST 2002 [RELATED]

When I got my brick the coolant overflow tank (which is what you're adding coolant to, right?) had a leak at one of the seams. This tank is of a different design than yours (mine's the peanut one that slides into a little V clamp type thing). But it's a good place to check. I noticed this when I saw coolant oozing out of one of the seams.

When I replaced it I forgot to tighten the hose clamp that tied the bottom hose to the tank. Anything added to the tank ran straight down the strut tower. Tightened that and it hasn't lost any coolant yet.

Where's the leak on the ground? Driver's side? Passenger's side? Front? Back? Anything under the hood look wet?
