The car is a Series 2 XR8 2000 model..
Done 55,000 Kilo`s ..The car has been sitting for 8 months .. Went into the shed and noticed a decent pool of coolant on the floor coming from the front left section of the car.. Lifted the bonnet and it seems to be leaking from the top left side of the radiator.. Using a torch the top left core was wet near the side tank of the radiator.. I started the motor (first time for 8 months) and let the pressure build up as the radiator was warming up.. so to induce the leak further and see where its coming from.. Nothing showed up, so i used a pressure tester and bumped it up to 18psi..still nothing.. Left a tray under the car over night and still no leak?? Seems by warming up the radiator solved the problem.. The only thing i can think of is the rubber seal in the left radiator tank must of shrunk and by running the engine to normal running temp..swelled the rubber seal in the side tank??? Any ideas?? Cheers |
