    Coolant leak

    Ok, folks. I have yet another problem. Just as a reminder, I have a 98
    Mustang GT 4.6litre V8 5-speed manual. I was flushing the radiator earlier
    today because I figured it's been a while & why the hell not. So anyway..
    before this I noticed a slight coolant loss when I filled up on gas (I
    always check fluids). I was constantly re-filling. I noticed today though
    that when I started the car up after flushing it (all hoses were secure & in
    good condition) that it was spurting coolant out. I can't really say what
    from because i don't know what part it is... it's where the upper radiator
    hose on the driver's side goes from the coolant container (reservoir?) to
    <some part here which is where coolant is spurting out>. Anyone have this
    problem? What part is it? Anybody happent o know? it's held in place by 2
    screws. I greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks folks.

    -Mike

    Exactly, and it's two bolts...not screws. Also, the upper radiator hose
    goes to the radiator, not the overflow tank. Get a new o-ring and
    thermostat (may as well since it's open) and repalce them.

    ok SCRATCH that no coolant loss whatsoever B.S. I barely made it freaking
    home just a sec ago. What sort of gasket/O-ring seal or whatever do I need
    to get again? Thanks.

    kk, Thanks keith. I'll take YOUR word for it instead of his this time & see
    how it goes. Pardon the newbie-ness. This is the first car i've ever done
    any work to myself. I can't afford to keep paying ppl to tell me what's
    wrong w/ my car & fixing it.
