I tried looking, but can't find it; someone posted that he used some kind of magic-in-a-can coolant additive and it fixed a blown coolant seal he had (as of last update, he had 10k on it IIRC). Of course, my problem might be a rad cap waaay past due for replacement, but failing that, I need to know what product he used.

 

if ur talking about what i think u r, seems like i remember it being something like alumaseal? i believe it has aluminum flake in it.

Thanks! Going to idle the car tomorrow w/ rad cap off. Hoping my local autozone has alumaseal.

 

Eh-he-he-he-heeeaaa boy do I feel dumb.

Wasn't an internal coolant leak. Turns out, when reassembling the LIM, I wasn't very attentive with the AWS coolant circuit. Green was dripping onto the exhaust and providing the swet burning odor. Hopefully I've fixed it now. Fingas chroassed!

 

Glad you got it figured out. The name of the product is indeed Alumaseal, and I've got over 20k miles on that motor now!

THANK YOU so much Kentetsu, you just saved me the hassle of getting my REPU radiator retanked. It's not leaking at all anymore, this **** is miraculous!
