Default COOLANT QUESTION?????

you really won't see any sign of it. but I'll try and give you some direction on how to find it. locate your thermostat housing on the front of the motor then follow the black coolant pipe that runs to your radiator hose, that pipe has a brass fitting on it that "T"s off from it and the hose that's connected to it is the problem. if you're still running dexcool look for a rusty looking color on the electrical wires underneath the hose. I had to get a good light to see where that stuff had almost turned to a syrup on the wire insolation. but a new hose and two worm clamps and I was back in business. I hope this gets you fixed up.

LOL at work now, as soon as i get out of here, i am totally getting under the hood. thanks for the push in the (i hope) RIGHT direction. i am not using the dexcool, but my coolant is a green as shreks ****, so i should be able to find it.
