I have noticed i am slowly leaking coolant, it just dissapears, lose mabye 2 cups over a month. I think it is coming from this little sensor on the side of the radiator..maybe a temp sensor? looks like coolant is dripping from it..
Do they just pop out? is there an O-ring..any ideas?
Thanks. __________________ -Jeff

well, if its leaking from there, than yes you may want to replace the o-ring... just remember that 'coolant flush' on our cars is PITA, and so expect to have to 'burp' the cooling system a few time later. as for whether its common - not sure - my car never leaked from there.. but it contantly leaks from the 2 notorious plastic POS coolant flanges.

I have a few 150+ mile trips soon, not something I want to do now. __________________ -Jeff

once again, you'll need a new radiator for an S52 swap any how. | | | | | 03-13-2009, 07:26 AM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: USA Posts: 40 |
