Seppuku

I went out today and noticed a puddle under the car, thought it was from the rain last night. put my head under and noticed coolant dripping. The hoses are fine. I took the panel off and noticed coolant coming slowly from the fins. I guess this answers why the car would get a little warm after running hard. Vert will be down a while till i can get some money to fix this. Old radiator comes out tommorow.

That sux.. My car seems to be burnin coolant a bit now.. so I think my 157k engine will finally recieve it's first rebuild.. So I will be joining the "vert is down" club too..

My N/A is magic... it does a vanishing coolant trick. No leaks anywhere, no smoke, but I have to add water about every two weeks. I guess I have the inexpensive version of water injection!

Just get it soldered, should take 24 hours...

Have you checked the annoying TB-block line?

Mine split, it wouldn't leak when sitting (no pressure, line is high in the system), but when getting hot, it would spray a fine mist on to the top of the block, where it immediately vaporized. So, I had no dripping, no visible marks, just coolant missing, and sometimes a wierd gurgle/sizzle after driving hard...but it sounded like it came from the TB itself.
