Rebel4055 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Scratch that I do have plastic tanks on the sides of the rad and they have little tabs that hold them on. I looked and looked but I didn't see no cracks or anything on the front where I can see it but the back I couldn't really see crap. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

finkster Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 so when you look at the reservoir(s)...are they at the full line or what? When it starts leaking, run your finger and try to find the highest source that is wet. Look around that area.

keepinitloud Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 might be the core when you flushed it might have removed some of the dirt in the radiator and opened up the leak if at all possible pull the radiator plug the outlets and pump some air into the fill hole and dunk it in water to see if you can find any bubbles Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) might be the core when you flushed it might have removed some of the dirt in the radiator and opened up the leak if at all possible pull the radiator plug the outlets and pump some air into the fill hole and dunk it in water to see if you can find any bubbles Thanks for that but won't be possible right now. I need like a quick fix option. Edited November 18, 2010 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

raolito1980 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Water pump leak? Thermostat gone bad? Edit: Leave the car on and let it run. It tends to cool down if you drive it so the leak doesnt show up when you get home. So let it run for a few minutes in park and look undernneath the engine to look for that leak. Pinpoint where the leak is dropping on the floor and the see if you can track it.Quick fix is try one of those stop leak for the radiator and see if that works.

Rebel4055 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Water pump leak? Thermostat gone bad? None of that is leaking or bad I have sourced the leak to the side plastic tanks that meet the rad. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
