hey u guys, i need you knowledge on this problem asap thanx! Well i noticed ive been losing coolant but its not from a cracked or popped off hose or anything like that. Ive observed it, and its from the resevior. There is a little hole right next to the where the funnel (where u add coolant to the tank) connects to the tank itself; is that hole supposed to be open to allow steam and air to pass out? or is it supposed to be plugged with something? This hole is very small (no bigger than the head of a pen 1/2 way down from the tip), but looks like the tank was built originally with it(not a error) . let me kno asap. MY fd is down until i get this problem sorted out. thnk you!

 

bump

 

there should be no hole any except for the overflow and filer neck

just get a new reservior

ioon if the hole im referring is the overflow hole or not. it has like a black rim that can be seen from the top.

 

yup thats the overflow hole should have a lil rubber pipe on it to driect the coolant down

let me ask u this wen u drive ur FD around and park it, do u notice a puddle of coolant under the car near where the reservior is located???

 

yes, and i kno its coming out of that little hole. wat does that mean?

 

Is your coolant boiling and overflowing or is it simply dripping out?

 

boiling and overflow yes. i hear is boiling and gurgling

 

Completely normal. There are 3 holes in the overflow tank: where the filler tube attaches, where the line to the AST attaches, and the small overflow hole.

If you are losing coolant there it simply means your overflow bottle is full. If that is a chronic condition you may have a bad cap or a hose leak preventing enough vacuum to pull coolant back out of the bottle.

Gurgling is normal. Work on purging all of the air out of the system. There are many threads on here about this.
