Hey guys,
I think I found a couple threads about this but just wanted to make sure.
So we just drove home from 8hr car ride non stop. I let the woman out for bathroom break, about 10 min. I noticed that my temps was in the higher 3/4 part of the gauge. As soon as we started to drive the temp dropped to twelve o'clock. I suspect that the car is leaking something, oil/ coolant/ power steering fluid, so i park it in the garage for a few days. I go out there today and notice 2 things. 1) There is a small amount of coolant leaking from the bottom right of the radiator. 2) The power steering hose/ reservoir seems to be leaking.
After searching the forum I found 2 things.
1) The two important plastic pieces to replace

2) It might be time for a new radiator? car has about 175k miles.. not sure about this one. could it possible be a hose that is leaking?
What do you guys think? Is there anything else I should replace such as the thermostat as I'm replacing the radiator?
as of recently i have replaced:
gasket between engine block and oil filter housing, was leaking
drive shaft bearing
guido
steering wheel lock/ignition switch (dealer did that one)
o2 sensors
mas air flow sensor
muffler
cat
all oem
and all thanks to this forum
Thanks guys
