ok so my radiator is leaking...how would i find out where its leaking from...hose or bottom of radiator? its hard to see when its all on....would i be able to tell by taking it off? and looking? or would i not see because its not under pressure?

 

Take the plastic shield off of the bottom of the car, it will be a lot easier to see then. You should make a through inspection while it is still in place. Usually if the core is leaking you will see coolant around the bottom ends of the metal tubes. If it's automatic transmission, the radiator can leak coolant where the transmission lines go in. These situations call for a new radiator. Leaking where the big hose to the engine connects can be repaired with a new clamp and/or hose.

 

thanks..yeah im just got to replace my radiator with a all metal one and replace hoses it sucks

 

Make sure the leak is definitely from the radiator before replacing.

 

look for coolant around the hoses
