sube101 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 on my way back from ronald washington i noticed a coolant smell, looked under the hood and the whole passenger side engine compartment was soaked. refilled my radiator and waited while it ran to find the leak. and i cant find the leak anywhere. any ideas on how to find it?

GeneralDisorder Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Rev the engine while you stand there watching the hoses - pin-hole leaks like to spray when the water pump picks up speed. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red92 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Did you check in front of the radiator? When the radiator end tank cracked on my Legacy, it took me a little while to track it down. I had coolant inside the engine bay, all the way back to the strut tower, and puddled on top of the suspension. But the crack itself was on the FRONT of the radiator, it just happened that enough blew around backwards when I was driving that it looked like it was coming from somewhere inside the engine bay.
