Hi all,i have a 94 mustang gt and it has a coolant leak.It only starts to leak when the motor warms up, bout 15 mins,then i start to see it driping from the passenger front.i though it was the coolant reservoir but i beleive the anti frezze is runing down on to it.When i look underneath it almost apears to be dripping from the right corner somewhere poss in front of the raditor???any help would be appreciated ...thx soo much

Stock radiators are notorious for leaking in the lower corners... Probably what it is...

They're easy to replace, not a big deal. As far as leaking all the time, the rubber seal between the plastic end tanks and the aluminum core will get hot and shrink and or warp, causing an intermittent leak. First check all the hoses, t-stat housing, etc really well. If those are all good, then you know where you gotta go.

i had (may still have) the same problem. i put a little stop leak in it and that solved the leaking problem but now my radiator doesn't work to max efficiency. its good enough to drive around all year but as soon as i hit the AC the radiator can't handle it.

i'm planning on buying a new fluidyne in the near future before summer heat hits.
