Whenever i park on an incline(front higher than rear) my radiator fluid leaks out, its not insanely fast, but its a decent amount. When i park level its fine and it doesnt go down over a period of time, it only leaks when its on an angle, anyone know why, or how to fix?

where / what side does it leak from? Maybe your reservoir is cracked.

I couldnt see where it leaked from, i didnt know it was leaking till about 20 mins after i parked nad by then antifreez was all over and i didnt wanna get my clothes dirty cause i was goin out. It hasnt laeked since then, but ill have to keep a close eye on it

Must find coolant leak,,,,,do not overheat engine.

BigJim

Yea, it doesnt leak unless i park it on an incline. Ive refilled my rad fluid and it hasnt changed any in the past week. And i checked the overflow reciever thing and it seems fine so i dont know. My dad said we will just take apart the cooling system this winter while we fix everythign else.

Please excuse the dumb question but,
You do know that the "level" of coolant is maintained in the resevoir? When running, the coolant (some) will go into the res. and raise the level. After shut down and the engine cools, the coolant goes back into the radiator. You can check the radiator to be sure it's full,,,,(a bad radiator cap can NOT let the coolant flow back in),,,,but you should maintain the proper level in the res.....
Can you not see even the area that it is comming out,,, Left, Right, front, or back, of the engine bay???

My RX7's coolant level sensor and warning buzzer is very sensitive to slight drops in the coolant level in the rad. It is extremely important to keep the cooling system in good working order (in any type vehicle but especially rotary engines. It may be as simple as a cracked hose leading to the resevoir which is a $1.00 fix vs. a $1,500 rebuild.
