radiator problem
ever since i took off air pump on sunday my rad started blowing coolant out of some unknown position. Its not any of the hoses and its not like a flowing leak, only on start ups for some reason. Anyone know anything about this problem ?

Check your water pump weep hole under the pulley. If you are leaking there it will get sprayed by the fan. Can you describe exactly what you did when you removed the air pump? Not to many spots on a rotary where water comes out.

possibly could be under the pulley, should i buy a new rad ? I cant say for sure where its coming from but put it like this, its in front of the fan because the fan shoots it backwards towards the cabin all over and to the sides. ..
