Subject:Very Sudden Coolant Leak URGENT!
From:Jeremy Speer
Date:Thu, 2 May 2002 21:26:22 -0500

Listees,

I just came home from cooking the first dinner down at lake Calhoun in the
van... and i discovered a coolant leak up front. The leak seems to be coming
from just above where the hoses enter the radiator.

The hoses seem fine... not brittle at all, very pliable. The
drip...drip...drip is coming more from the bottom of the passenger side
radiator mount than anywhere else.

Also, the incoming hot coolant hose is quite hot, but the return hose is
still ice cold.

I'm thinking it's time for a new radiator.

Please p-mail with opinions... i'm on digest at the moment and i'm a bit
freaked by this sudden discovery.

Many thanks,

-jspeer
