Hey guys

Coolant seems to be dripping under the bottom when I accelerate my rx7. Anyone have any idea to what could be the cause of this?

thank.

I fixed a drip type leak yesterday and in analyzing the problem I was able to eliminate it to a faulty hose clamp on the lower radiator hose as it connected to the radiator. What you need to do if fire up the car in your driveway and look under the car to help locate the problem or you could leave the car running and place a sheet of cardboard from a large box under the car and check it later for any coolant drippings. The coolant comes out under pressure more readily with the engine running than a car not running. Hopefully it is just a clamp or hose issue and not the result of a leaky radiator and the like.

 

if visual checks don't help, rent a coolant system pressure tester from Advance Auto Parts.
