  • few drips from the radiator

    notice the other day as soon as i get home from work and park the festy that there is a few drops of radiator fluid that fall on the concrete. The source is (when looking at the radiator from the front of the car w/ the hood up) is on the left side of the radiator near the top where that lip is...
    is this normal? i'd say it is about 10 drops (for the first 30 min after driving) of the leak and then it stops. Maybe i don't have a complete seal there and during the cooling process it is bubbling over..? anybody else have this issue?

    looks like the top tank needs to be resealed.

      sounds right to me

      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              is there any other radiator from another car that'll fit? are all radiators created equal?
