Doug_GT350 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Okay guys here's a weird one for ya! I have a slow leak somewhere in the area of the coolant pump for the inter cooler. The weird part is the reservoir for the radiator is the one that's low... as far as I know these two entities are not connected!? The pump itself is wet and it leaks while it's parked! Any suggestions as to where to start looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Definitely separate systems. Maybe the radiator is leaking/spraying on to the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I had a similiar thought. Water (or in this case, coolant) can wick and travel along hoses and other smooth surfaces until it comes to an obstruction, or abrupt change in direction, that will cause the fluid to collect and drip. Try running a paper towel along the underside of your hoses or any smooth surfaces around where the leak is, and see if you can detect any moisture. Then you can backtrack the leak to where it is occuring. As Jason stated, you may find a loose fittng or a cracked fitting that is causing the radiator to spray when the engine heats up and builds pressure in the coolant system.

Doug_GT350 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 okay thanks guys.... I was 99.9% sure they were seperate systems but my son seemed to think they may be linked. I guess I have some work to do. First thing I have to do is get my DD through state inspection, then I'll go to work on the toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
