I'm Awesome
I developed a leak in one of the plastic tanks in my radiator, so I bought a new radiator at NAPA, lifetime warranty, I forget, maybe Spectra brand? Anyhow, install went fairly easy, but now I have a steady drip on the lower transmission cooler line when the engine is running. Looking at the rad I pulled, looks like it has O-rings in the female end of both the fittings? Maybe my eyes are just getting worse. LOL. Anyhow, I will get a pick or something and try to see if I can pull whatever might be in there out, if that's what is needed.
I have replaced radiators in the past and don't remember any O-rings in there. I didn't try using any Teflon tape to try and seal the fittings, but don't recall ever having to do that either. I tried snugging it down a little more with a wrench, no difference.
The supplied instructions don't mention O-rings or Teflon tape. Neither does my Haynes repair manual. It was a little difficult getting the cooler lines thread started, but not too bad and pretty confident nothing is cross threaded.
Anyone had a similar problem?
