Cant find a spot for this item, the 78 was parked outside last night, -10, couple of antifreeze spots on ground dripping from front shackle mounts, don't seem to be any hoses leaking. I had installed a new radiator, aluminum core with plastic side tanks. Could the cold be shrining the aluminum enough to lead at the seams? Did not leak in the heated shop for a week prior. thoughts?

As long as you have coolant in it, recheck the hose clamps.

Don't forget the water pump.
