Well I just got home and my wife comes into the house and says, " your car is going drip, drip, drip, and I don't know what it is." So I instantly go out to look at it and sure enought I am leaking coolant all over the place. I think it is coming from the top of the radiator. It is stock. I can't see exactly where its coming from but I think the tank is busted. ANy Ideas. Anyone seen an aftermarket radiator on sale? I am looking at Koyo. I found one for $365

i think i saw a couple koyo's on ebay the other day. i would check your hoses first though. might be a pin hole leak.

i have a fluidyne myself, do you have an air seperator tank installed? if so, make sure that it is not mounted below the rad cap. if it is, it will overflow all over the place. i know cause it happened to me. if you dont have an air seperator tank, you should get your system pressure checked....

Actually the mazda comp is the best one out there for the Fd, the fluidyne is no better or worse than the koyo.

Isn't the Mazda comp crazy $$$$$$? Not that it matters if it's worth every penny though!
