Radiator Leak next to drain valve area
Sup,
I noticed today that I had coolant dripping out on the drivers side. So I took a look as I was think it was the peacock drain valve. I just installed a set of compounds and had to open the valve some to drain some coolant out. Anyhow, I was thinking that maybe I did not close it fully. I took a couple of pictures and I circled the area in red. I seems to be coming out of the side next to the drain itself. So I am looking for thoughts on this, I did check to see if the water pump may be leaking but it is not. I have looked all over and it seems that this place is where it is coming from....
area circled in red...
another shot of it...

Hey,
I found a post from mopar1973man and he mentioned using the overflow tube and add compressed air as a quick way to chase a leak. Damn it worked great, found the leak and already picked up a replacement.
