Thanks 454, But that’s not what I’ve been reading. Ive been seeing guys aren’t having much luck with the O rings in those juffy connectors. Some say just disturbing them can cause a leak, and suggest replacing the O rings every time you replace the gasket on the adapter. And I’ve seen where brand new adapter gaskets fail, especially Dormans.
Like I said, the leak is either from the adapter gasket or one of it’s fittings. It’s a big leak, a quart every 60 miles. So yeah, I don’t know how xactly but within an inch or two. Yeah the line doesn’t go under the radiator, exactly. Under the fan.
Yes I was thinking soft copper tubing. Yes there’s vibration frim the engine. Seems like there might be some better way. Still don’t know whether to delete them or not. Toss a coin I guess
