Coolant overflow question
I figured out my problem with my leaking coolant. Today I realized my Coolant container is cracked somewhere. The coolant runs down the side and onto the floor after the car gets parked. I looked down the neck and noticed that where the neck meets the bottle is completely worn out. There are probably cracks on the side.
My question is does anyone know where I can get a used one in the bay area? These difficult to install or remove? and lastly how much do these containers cost?
Thanks for your help! I love this forum.

The neck and the reservoir are two seperate pieces. If there is a leak in the coolant system, there is not enough vacuum to draw back the coolant from the overflow tank, then the coolant will be pushed up and leak through the connection. This might be what you are talking about. If not, it's not too hard to replace the overflow reservoir, you need to access it from the wheel well.

What do you mean by "leak in the coolant system"? Where are these "leaks" usually. The only place I can tell the coolant is leaking from is around the container. I sealed the neck today with a compound and drove it, so far it has not leaked yet.
Fingers crossed.
