ever since i took off air pump on sunday my rad started blowing coolant out of some unknown position. Its not any of the hoses and its not like a flowing leak, only on start ups for some reason. Anyone know anything about this problem ?

 

Where specifically is it leaking from?

 

how much and where is it leaking from?

 

Check your water pump weep hole under the pulley. If you are leaking there it will get sprayed by the fan. Can you describe exactly what you did when you removed the air pump? Not to many spots on a rotary where water comes out.

 

possibly could be under the pulley, should i buy a new rad ? I cant say for sure where its coming from but put it like this, its in front of the fan because the fan shoots it backwards towards the cabin all over and to the sides. ..

 

oh and i doubt its anything from the air pump removal, i didnt take anything off dealing with coolant and it escaping

 

did u knock a hole in the rad in the process of taking the pump off?

 

That was my next question.......it just takes a pinch with a old rad to make it leak.

 

i dont believe i hit the rad at all, but if its blowing backwards then it has to be in front of the fan right ? oh and , if my car smells like a tractor am i running to lean ? or is that normal for when you take off emissions

 

mmmm, noxious gasses. Ya I believe it is normal, my dad's 85 and my 83 both smell real bad since the removal of emissions

 

yea i dont mind, i kinda like it to, but i don't want boom boom heh
