Found my constant coolant smell - Radiator leaking from top
Have any of you had one of these radiators fail? After my engine swap I constantly have the smell of hot coolant. I recently washed under hood, the fan assembly, and radiator thinking it was spillage from when it was filled that lingering or cooking off hot parts. Nope.
Ran it to temp today and found this. It is hard to tell in the pics, but it is definitely a very slow leak along the passenger side top of radiator where the plastic top is crimped to the main body. It is right at that joint. I could see a very slow bubble at times.
Time for a new radiator I guess.
