cooling system

just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to you. first the intake manifold seals started leaking i got that fixed and right after i started the car the water pump starts dumping antifreeze. after getting that fixed the driver side of my radiator decides to fallout. just thought it was all funny cause id fix one thing and right after something else would go.

Re: cooling system

Could you be building up to much pressure somehow?

Re: cooling system

building up to much pressure isnt very likely since the radiator cap is a pressure switch that will open if the system builds up pressure around 15 psi. So i say its not likely cause the cap will release pressure so that it doesnt damage any components. But hey i could be wrong i have seen crazier things

Re: cooling system

i just thought it was funny. i think it was the original water pump anyways and the radiator is to just getting old and the cars had like 6 owners other than me and it looks like all they did was hot rod it. hate when they do that

Re: cooling system

when i first got it the guy i got it from had it sitting under a pecan tree for 2 years and it started to rust on the top and on the hood. then he stuffed a oil rag in the air intake with the filter and didnt tell me about it.
