Not worried about coolant leak it’s at the front bumper and the radiator is hundred 180 bucks so because the upper and lower hoses are dry pretty sure there’s a crack or a bad seal near a fitting near the bottom. This was more satisfying today.

Nice job dude. Hope my cab corner comes out as good. I think it will, but we have rain in the forecast for the next week about.

One thing about these burbs... seems to be plenty of areas for potential coolant leaks lol

Probably the tank has a hairline crack in it. That's what happened to my original radiator in my Burb, back in 2017. Cost me $270, but that was a radiator shop doing the job and they had it ready in three hours. I could've done the swap, but didn't have the time.

I’d be happy if it was the radiator. Drove it 2500 mi since I got it Super Bowl Sunday and this is the first leak. Also attached this little badge bc I have wireless charging, cooled seats and CarPlay LOL

If it's dripping around the front bumper, probably so. Another thing about these plastic tank radiators is they have gaskets between the tanks and core that shrink and cause leaks. My previous 99 Burb was in a minor wreck a couple months before the wreck that totalled it. The seal between the tanks and the core got disturbed, and it needed water every morning. And the insurance adjuster didn't catch that damage either.....even though we told them!
