That’s a relief…

Well…as you know, I have been having a problem with coolant leaks on the car for the past couple of weeks with the top of the overflow tank being soaked in coolant and leaving small puddles under the car…so, this morning, I decided to check it out to see where the leak was coming from so I didn’t have to think about it anymore…so, after I fired the car up and let it run for a few minutes, I could see that the coolant was coming out around where the overflow tube is attached to the fitting that is on the cap….so, I thought it was broken since it is 25 years old plastic but when I took it apart to check it, I found that the tube that goes down into the tank was completely plugged so the pressure that made was pushing the coolant out around where the tube connects to the cap…so, after cleaning that out and putting it back together, I let the car run for a few minutes and no leak so that’s a relief and makes my day…it looks like I’m due for another coolant system flush….
