Okay, So I put a new radiator into my 94 GT. Everything is working fine... However - If I drive, say, 10 miles, everything is cool. No problems. If I drive, say, 20 miles or longer, I'm getting coolant coming out of the little hole near the top of my reservoir. it's gathering underneath my battery. Has anyone had this problem? All my hoses are clean and not blocked. And again, for short distances, she's totally cool. I don't get it. At a loss, LD -------------------- My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..

it could have just been air trapped in the system.
when bleeding the cooling system of air you need to fill rad through cap while squeezing hoses run car with cap off and heat turned on hold engine at 2500rpm till heat gets hot turn heat on low or off wait for thermostat to open and all air to bleed out fill rad back to full, make sure overflow is full put cap on wait for fans to come on wait for fans to come on again turn car off for several hours top off coolant jug as needed run car till fans come on take it around for a drive making sure it runs normal, heat works, temp stays steady when doing the rad its a good idea to do the thermostat and hoses as well. -------------------- |
