Thats where I keep mine. Warm it up at Idle and see if its overflowing or the bottle is leaking.was empty, filled 2/3 cold. guess I'll pull the plastics for a better look
That's the spirit. It could be a split in the reservoir or a rotted hose.was empty, filled 2/3 cold. guess I'll pull the plastics for a better look
This is a very common thing to find, as Mellow pointed out, I'd check the coolant tank for damage before looking further, then check the coolant hoses in the Vee area.If it was completely empty, the header in that area could have melted a pin hole in the plastic.
Did you see the markings on the side that show the desired level?Does it say Dumb Ass my forehead??
ok, finally got around to pulling the LH tupperware, kind of a bitch for this aching old man without a lift.... getting up and down off
the floor isn't fun anymore. Well look at that!! Coolant jug is 7/8 full!!
I'm thinking next time I'll use a FLASHLIGHT when checking.... didn't really want the practice of pulling the plastic but the bright side is.....
it's fixed!! but not my pride....

Some will take to "highlighting" or marking over those sometimes-difficult-to-see lines with a Sharpie or permanent marker.Did you see the markings on the side that show the desired level?

Aunt freeze is not good stuff to drink. Make sure you thoroughly wash that turkey baster - better yet, put it in your tool box and don't use it on food. Buy your wife another one.used my turkey baster to draw it down....
I do have my own baster on the work bench. A little Bourbon in the brake fluid really helps.....Aunt freeze is not good stuff to drink. Make sure you thoroughly wash that turkey baster - better yet, put it in your tool box and don't use it on food. Buy your wife another one.
BTW, said turkey baster is great for slurping up the old brake fluid from the reservoir when bleeding the brakes or clutch. Refill the reserv. with new brake fluid and start bleeding. Brake fluid is REALLY bad stuff to drink.
There have been worse leaks, caused by accessories and installationDoes it say Dumb Ass my forehead??
