Hey guys i have come to u again for advice. I have a 95 gt and i have experienced the heater core failures as well as many rad failures.. this morning when i started my car up i noticed my low coolant light coming on.. so i added coolant/water mixture of 50/50 and filled up the resevoir tank. but when i got under the car i noticed a few drips of coolant.. now this isn't the first time this has happened to me. this is my THIRD radiator that i have replaced on my car in a time span of about 5- 7 months. in that time the same pinhole leak has happened. i'm not too sure if sn95 mustangs have radiator problems or not but i'd like to hear everyones input as well as what you guys have gone through with rad problems. i have also gotten the recall for the radiator fan done as well. and i have been hearing about electrolysis being a possiblity of pinhole leaks. if you guys have any ideas please let me know!!

The car is still drivable and doesn't overheat. just leaks drips of coolant.

When you changed the radiators did you flush the system?

I was amazed at what came out of my cooling system when I flushed it and rinsed out the overflow tank last week.

if you are doing a stock replacement i would suggest just getting rid of it.... the side tanks seem to leak a lot since they are just plastic tanks with a gasket in between. i would suggest getting a good aluminum radiator. just my 2 cents

I have heard a few people go on about the elctro problem, but I don't see it causing so much damage to a part that is not really touching any metal at all. It should be held in by rubber boots all the way around.

IMO you are just having my kind of bad luck. I went through three starters in two months. I only put 95 miles on my car in those three months. Just one of those things.

I agree with the upgrade to a aluminum comment made here. I don't think they keep your car cooler, but they do take longer to heat up, and cool down a lot faster than the factory unit.

Hope you get this solved, you could always check all the grounds on your block to ensure all is well. Or add a few grounds if you deem in neecessary.

Wish I could be of more help on the issue............
