Odd Coolant Leak
My Car was leaking coolant in two places (the first being a bad hose which was easliy fixed) now then fun part..
When I start my car after a day (most of the fluid has leaked out) the low coolant light comes on, If I check under the highest radiator cap (not the AST one) its almost bone dry. If I add fluid back in (when my car is running) everything is happy but after a bit fluid starts to leak from my overflow tank and continues for a long time after my car is off (when the fluid is returning back to the tank)
I checked the filler neck and made sure it had a good seal but fluid is pouring out of the rubber nipple that sits right next to where the filler neck joins the overflow tanks body
. This continues for quite sometime until most fluid in my system is drained out... I tried a new cap on the AST tank but that didnt help tonight I will try replacing both of them, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea of what else it could be.
There appears to be no other coolant leaks anywheres but that one on the overflow tank....
The car is a 93 FD any help would be really appreciated
thanks
