leaking coolent?
i had a cracked radiator so i changed the radiator but left the orignal hoses and only changed the clamps. the temperature seems to be normal but this morning when i checked my car i noticed that i had a trail of fluid on the ground. any ideas of what may be the problem?

might want to check those clamps again and the position on the hoses. double check wont hurt, you know what i mean yo!!

could have over tightened the clamps and broke the plastic piece that sticks out into the hose...
Id water it all down then dry it off completely with compressed air then let the car run and feel around with ur hand or just watch it.

or you can do a pressure test on your cooling system to see where the coolant comes out from. pretty cheap and i think they have it at the autostores. best bet bro!!
