Just a Tiny Leak
So irritating and frustrating...
The wet spot on the driveway. Smelling Anti-freeze. Having to refill the overflow tank every few months. Had to find the problem. https://lh3.ggpht.com/_4xQFBZJE2fI/TI...0/DSC08162.JPG The Toyota thermostat housing 'O' ring where the parts join; upper right quadrant, there was my leak. Then I looked down... https://lh4.ggpht.com/_4xQFBZJE2fI/TI...2/DSC08165.JPG Replacing the timing belt, the radiator was bumped, maybe by a wrench. Eventually, expansion and contraction opened the hole and, although the yellow color Amsoil Propylene Glycol Antifreeze and Engine Coolant can stop itsy-bitsy leaks, this became too large. https://lh3.ggpht.com/_4xQFBZJE2fI/TI...2/DSC08180.JPG Perhaps, the tiny hole in the center tube. I suppose the moral to the story is; Do the job right and...be careful. |
