Sad to say my low mileage 12A might have a big problem. Noticed the filler cap was very rusty. And after some hard driving I noticed the water droplets collected on the filler neck are green. My purge system was dedfinatly not working but either way I'm getting coolant in there. I hooked up the purge system again but I'm left with the leaking coolant problem.

I've heard you can get lucky with expansion pugs but more than likely it's o rings in the houseings? How exactly do I check the expansion plugs? Any links with pictures or how-to's?

Thanks...

 

Have you checked your oil? If the oil is still oil and not a milkshake, it may just be condensation in the sump.

 

Oil isn't milkshake, I think it's a small leak. I figured if it was just condensation though it wouldn't be green like the coolant would it? I'll keep an eye on it I just changed the oil so I'll watch the coolant level and oil color.

Thanks

 

After doing the rat nest removal and applying vac to the oil filler tube, that problem is gone. The car still puffs huge white cloud of smoke everytime it has been sitting and is dead cold for about 5 seconds. Then it's gone. I've been monitering coolant as wel and haven't noticed the level changeing at all? I'm going to try some radiator sealant? Not sure what else to try...

 

make sure you do your research on the radiator sealant you use, ive heard of some of that stuff getting in our block, and clogging pasages, and restricting flow...just so you know.
