 Subject: 180 T-stat Problem!!
IP: Logged
Message:
I just installed my 180 T-stat that I got from Speedtweaks.net and it seems to be leaking a little radiator fluid each day. Is it just getting rid of the excess (maybe overfilled a little) or is it a problem. It is not leaking on top of the engine block where the actual t-stat is, it is coming from underneath. I can't tell where it is coming from, unless I take off the plastic shield underneath the airdam (which I don't want to have to do unless I have to). Do you think that I should just wait it out and see if it stops or should I be really concerned and take apart the shield and check it all out?

Maybe when you were working on the tstat you pulled the rad hose and tore it or broke a hose clamp.
Just make sure its not coming from the T stat.

Nope definitely not coming from on top where the T-Stat is. Could it be the plug. Or what is that hose next to the plug. Its a short house that goes from one nipple to another in about a 2-3 inch distance. What does that do, could it be leaking?

May be coolant coming from the weep hole in the water pump, depending on mileage, water pump may be going out. I replaced on my 95Dak, pretty easy.

could your overflow bottle be too full and what you see is fluid that flows out of the overflow.
