Try the easiest fix first 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Bond. James Bond. on  Tue Dec 28 12:02 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I had exactly the same problem on my 1980 five years ago. I added some "Alumaseal" radiator sealant--half the bottle, or half the recommended amount, thinking maybe the Volvo system was smaller capacity than some and I didn't want to plug up anything else.

Stopped the leak. Not the same day but over a period of maybe a week or so. It's never leaked again. I haven't put many miles on it since the spring of 2001 but there isn't any o-ring leak.

I have no financial interest that I know of in "Alumaseal" or whatever company makes it.

Good luck.
