coolant leak

coolant leak

i have 2000 celica, it fills through the reservoir seperate from the actual radiator. when it gets warm the fluid starts dripping from the cap so i slowly open the bleed valve until fluid comes out there but it just constantly leaks out the cap. i got a new cap and no luck

new radiator top or a whole new one... epoxy shits are that... shit...

take it to a radiator guy to open it up and try to fix it as a "meanwhile..." move

DO NOT put stop leak in your radiator. you will regret it

it dosnt leak from the radiator. i have a reservoir that has hoses to the rad... its like your overflow tank i guess. i drive a celica

Okay just sayin lol. That stuff does more damage than good. You should really post some pictures. This is forum of mostly corollas and some of us might not know what you mean with the whole reservoir issue. Then some of use might be able to share some advice

i know i took some but im havin technical difficulties with the camera too lol

are you sure you're not putting too much fluid in? if so, i would suggest what someone else suggested and get a new radiator top and possibly a new cap. have you ever replaced the radiator? how many miles on your car? it maybe time for a new radiator anyway.

the engine has 20k and the radiator is almost 180k. i completly drained the radiator when i swapped engines and so far ive only put a little over a gallon back in. i bought a third cap today, an oem cap, but it still leaks just out the back off the cap instead of the front with the other 2

it's the pvc of the top... mine cracked due to reasons unknown before I getting it...
and it wasn't visible but when pressured builded up it leaked

haha your right i just got in from the garage and i wrapped thread tape on the cap and it held for awhile then started to drip slowly. im ordering a new reservoir tomorrow

so i have a new reservoir and three caps....it still drips. now im starting to think im doing something wrong

ugh, you sure thats not the overflow tank? when the engine heats up the coolant expands. the coolant from the radiator goes into the overflow tank thus causing it to.. overflow. If the engines not heating up, who cares. Just make sure it doesnt drop too low, and when it drops to a certain level where it doesnt leak, just fill it up to that level from now on. maybe?

try bleeding your coolant system...

i still think its your radiator. its old and not able to maintain the pressure.

i had a hose hooked up wrong i bled it right and everything
