So it's most likely the radiator correct?If you were closer I would help you yank that radiator and replace it with a new one, shop around like RockAuto and 1-800Radiator, autozone. Most radiators have plastic tanks now and over time leak at the seam, my toyota has been seeping for a year, come to think of it, if I'm not fixing mine, I doubt I'm helping R&R yours, I will come over, drink your whisky and point at stuff and say "you should fix that", you know useful stuff
By clamps you mean the radiator hoses right? I’m pretty sure coolant is seeping through cracks in the radiator, here’s a better picture after I warmed up my Stang and coolant started to slowly leakClean it all off and reposition the radiator clamps and try it again?
Those clamps are too far from the radiator and are on the very end of the hose nipple
They are supposed to be right behind the nipple
Alright yes replace the leaking radiator too after the recheck
I replaced the radiator but it’s still smoking but I found where it coming from. It’s just coming from the ac hose right where u insert the Freon in. Is there an easy way to fix it or do I have to replace the whole hose?Yes, It looks like the plastic side tank leaks (the plastic cracks often and the gaskets leak)
Flush that cooling system with the Ford flush to get the rust out
Rust that bad will eat out the freeze plugs
Flush is bad stuff / caustic
Flush it with the old radiator in it maybe
I mentioned the clamps position just so you know
Big fan of solid aluminum radiators myself with no side tanks
If cost is an issue just go stock and call someone like 1800radiator
