burst a couple of pipes not at the same time over a 2 month period, and now my radiator has sprung a leak. looks like the side of the radiator is popped open a little. I need to replace the radiator but is there something known to you guys that causes this type of thing? should I replace my water pump as well? |

It could be a few diffrerent things. The worst case scenario would involve having to buy a new engine because the current one is too damaged to rebuild.

get your head gasket checked they can do a chemical test that shows if there is oil present in your cooling system sounds like the car has a leak at a water port and the engine is pushing extra pressure into the cooling system

could just be a worn cooling system. I went through a radiator hose phase, all it was was fked hoses

@ tekt0nix - 11.07.14 - 06:42am could just be a worn cooling system. I went through a radiator hose phase, all it was was fked hoses Im starting to think that too. You would think the radiator cap would release any excess pressure. But I put the radiator in and it seems to be going fine. Touch wood. Thanks to all that replied. |
