Problem with radiator
« on: August 01, 2010, 01:01:21 pm »
I drive 2 miles to work, when I pulled in the driveway this morning there was steam and a little coolant coming out of the front of my truck. 80 model stepside w/ a 6cyl. Any idea what the problem could be. I couldn't find anything. It looked to be coming from around the top of the radiator but I can't tell for sure. Thanks

Could just be a hole in the rad

It may be your hose to your overflow tank is loose but it's probably a hole like Irish said. It had new radiator form  Auto Zone that was 10 months old spring a leak a couple of weeks ago.
