coolant leaking while car was turned off have pics

nes · 07-03-2008, 05:08 PM

hey guys, I was playing around with my radio and when I stepped out my car there was all this coolant on the floor. I poped my hood open and saw that of course there wasnt anymore coolaint and that a hoose was loose. Is this something i can fix? the hoose dosent seem to be cut at all. If any one could help my telling me where I could hook it back up to it would realy help. thanks

there is one that sposta go nowhere, it directs the boiled over coolant (generally not a good thing) to the ground instead of your face...

there are hot and cold full lines, if you fill that resivor up to the cap it will overflow and make a mess (sweet smelling mess might i add)

Correct. One line from you overflow tank runs accross the radiator to the outlet next to the radiator car. The other one just points down to the ground. If your tank was not overfilled and it ejected coolant down to the ground, then that's a symptom of your overheating problem, not the cause.
