Where the H*** is the Antifreeze coming from?
I know that this should be one of the easiest thing to diagnose, but it's making me crazy. I know it's not hoses one was new back in October and of course I assumed that the other 40 year old hose was the culprit Monday last week so NOW it's new.
I'm loosing 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon on the ground. I can't see it comming out of water pump which is New in October when I put the new motor in. With the motor running I see nothing. With it shut down I see nothing but the crossmember is pooling antifreeze. I've checked the inside of the waterpump pully thinking that if it was leaking out of the weep hole that the inside of it would be either wet or at least covered with Gunk from leaking antifreeze, nothing. intake bolts dry, water pump mount bolts dry, radiator dry, There is just nothing obvious. It's driving me crazy. Now I know that I'm not building pressure in the system on a regular basis. It's got a new cap and new hoses. So i'm quite sure that somewhere I have a leak because it won't pressurize. I can watch the thermostat open with the temp gage. It's normal and actually it runs really cool with a new 195 deg thermostat in it also when the engine was built. This is a venting post, I'm so frustrated with this thing. I mean I'm still driving it cause it's not overheating not even close but it's Marking it's turff everytime I park it, and I can't find it. So any thoughts would be a help. Thanks....... |
