so my radiator is spewing what I assume to be coolant out of the radiator cap, you can see it all white and crusty on top of the radiator around the cap, and also on my cruise control box, seemingly as if it were spraying everywhere... this seems like it'd be a bad thing. any ideas to what's causing it? btw, the engine hasn't been overheating or anything.

I think I'll try to find one of these repair kits as a temporary fix until I can afford the radiator. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
