#12368, "coolant leak in Talon"




          

I'm starting to wonder about it... I noticed a puddle underneath the car after driving a few weeks ago (looked like from overflow as well as from bottom right corner of radiator) So I parked it and drove the eclipse.
I got a replacement radiator today so I went down there to top it off and drive it around the house to swap rad's. The overflow was empty but there was still coolant at the top by thermostat. So I left it running in the driveway for about a 1/2 hour and went to go check for a puddle. Nothing. Then I took the cap off the overflow and noticed it was just about to the top. Put the cover back on and then it started leaking from the same spots. Left side by overflow and trickling down from bottom right corner of radiator.
Could all the coolant be coming from JUST the overflow tube and running over to the right side and down the radiator?
The thing that makes me wonder is the last time it leaked, the radiator was full and it was just the overflow that was empty.
s I guess I'll have to swap radiators and see if it still does the same thing. Or I could put a longer tube on the overflow and see if thats the ONLY place it comes from.
Anyone know anything about this? I'm also wondering if there is another problem causing the coolant to be "pushed" from the overflow...
