Message I can't recall if it is just on start up or all the time. I have a tendancy of opening the hood to do a quick inspection after driving and I get a good whiff of coolant smell. Although I did not have a coolant leak prior to this morning.

I run silicone coolant lines for the upper and lower radiator hoses, the overflow radiator hose and both of the heater core hoses. All the other lines are OEM or fuel injection hoses from Oreilly's Auto Parts.

Once again I will have to put the car on stands and pressure test the cooling system and see if I can pin point the leak.

I thought the silcone lines only permeate with oil, never heard coolant having an issue.

I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!" (Having a conversation about hail damage) - BradZ (FL) on March 25, 2005 at 9:56 PM

Tell your friend that you could take a dump, light it on fire and that would be hotter shit than his car. Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM

P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours! And I thought I was bad! :) - zmenon on August 16, 2005 at 3:06 AM
