Coolant Leak
Guest
Posts: n/a
Ok, so I noticed the fan on my vehicle (2003 S Type R) running for a few minutes after turning it off the other day. This struck me as a little odd, but didn't really pay it much attention until after a few days. I popped my hood to find a small coolant leak coming from what looked like a loose hose on the side of my resevior tank. I tried to move the hose a bit to see if it was loose or what just to discover the plastic nipple it attaches to had busted. This lead to about a gallon of antifreeze shooting all over my car and my garage walls/floor. Not the way I had hoped for that to go. Anyways, I am wondering if people have had the same problem and where the best place to get a replacement tank would be. I don't really feel like taking it to the *********** if I don't absolutely have to. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!
That tank fitting leaking is a very common problem. my tank was replaced under warranty but it still kept leaking and took 5 visits to the dealer to get fixed and I still get a little coolant around the fitting. I think it's pretty easy to replace, I would try to find one and replace it myself as I'm sure the dealer will charge you a fortune to do it!
