Coolant Leak Numpty Questions!
I have a serious coolant leak and would like to attempt to repair myself, but have never done this before.
I've recently noticed a smell of coolant when the temperature hits 100 (Hans sensor) and there would be a small puddle of coolant under the car. Just the other day there was way more than previously, maybe a litre, so its gotten worse. I'm hoping it's a leaking hose , the bottom radiator hose,PCH119290, is that the correct part number? If it turns out to be other than this then i will put everything back and drop it in the garage. I also have Kaisers metal housing. I don't car stands for need to attempt this from the front rather than from under. I've taken the front end off and fan and had a look inside and can see spillage all around PCH119290, i'll take a picture tomorrow. I plan to take this hose off to inspect it further. Questions are. Should i run the car with the front end off to confirm where the leak is coming from that hose? Will i be able to replace that hose from the front if i need to? Or any suggestions how to tackle this differently? I'm sure i'll have a few other questions as i get further in. Thanks in advance |
