rad hose??? check the oil and the actual coolant... it could just be rust.

rad hose? what is a rad hose? i think its just rust or residue. btw. its a brandnew radiator. and new waterpump. so it may have had so drying out in the engine.

Adam thought your photo was a radiator hose. So did I, actually. Now I see that it is your radiator water neck. Either way, Adam is right - it looks like rust. I have rust in the coolant in my Cobra conversion - comes back even after I flush the coolant. I would recommend doing a coolant flush, then use two bottles of Rust Fix from Prestone. It's supposed to coat the bare metal and prevent it from rusting further.

guys?

That looks really dirty. I'd be flushing the car like no tomorrow, may even consider taking the radiator to a shop and having it hot tanked.

its a brand new aluminum radiator! and has brandnew water pump!

Labora · Oct 24, 2009

May be new but it look to be pouring out dirt, maybe even a headgasket issue? What does the oil look like?

Adam95GT · Oct 24, 2009

this is beyond your normal rust issue.... Flush it out really good see if it come back... but first check your oil...

94cobra#519 · Oct 24, 2009

oil looks ok. but then this happened? when i gave it some throttle. im thinking head gasket. ): <a href="http://s114.photobucket.com/albums/n241/werty19/Mobile%20Uploads/?action=view&current=1024091429a.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n241/werty19/Mobile%20Uploads/1024091429a.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a

NOOOO!!!! Check you oil again...also, does the liquid comin from the exhaust have a sweet smell?

(See..I told everyone it's an epidemic!)

94cobra#519 · Oct 24, 2009

the oil looks good as far as i can tell. maybe a little runny and has a couple small bubbles on the dip stick. maybe but idk. ugh im so discouraged. i know what it is, i just dont want to face the facts.

94gtfreak · Oct 24, 2009

Yep I think you've found your culprut. Mine was the same way...minus the milky dirty look of the radiator.

COBRA90GT · Oct 24, 2009

,dont say that.

true Adam,head gaskets are cheap,but it's the time and labor replacing them that's the killer.
even though i love working on my car,i'd hate replacing something like that and not having the cash too upgrade while i'm at it

94cobra#519,that suck's,but you'll get it running
