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.

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.

Re: Coolant leak
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.

Re: Coolant leak
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.
