Hi Guys,
I just replaced my antifreeze and thermostat at the the beginning of the winter and now I am noticing a coolant leak in the area of the upper radiator hose / oil line area on the radiator. How common of a problem is this and would replacing the new thermostat without the little valve in it cause this ? ( the old thermostat had one )
I can not see any cracks in the radiator but the coolant looked like it was coming from above the stamped nut on the upper oil line fitting. Is this oil line fitting a common point of coolant leaking and if this is my problem can it be fixed. ( I took the stamped nut off thinking there would be a rubber o-ring or something behind it, but there was nothing )
