This is at the bottom of the radiator. There are two of those, one has a cap and the other doesn’t. Are they both suppose to be covered or only one?




The second and third picture is where the oil goes. I haven’t driven it in 2 weeks and that happened. My water pump is broke and my car does give off some white smoke during start up. I haven’t been filling it up with coolant because it leaks all of it out, so I only fill it up with water. Im thinking that the coolant is leaking out of the piece with the missing cap. The white smoke doesn’t have a sweet smell to it ( but it could be because its water, not coolant ).

It seems to be building up pressure but I don’t know if that is related to the missing cap or due to my broken water pump. The cap from the oil smelled like gas. I just recently did a oil change.

Did a compression test and everything seemed ok. Out of the 3 pulses i think 1 didnt go all the way to 90+, it stopped at like 70 i believe...

I believe radiators on automatics have two at the bottom. Is your car or was your car an auto transmission?

Many aftermarket radiators come with transmission coolers (which is what that is)...if you have a manual tranny, those fittings aren't used and can be capped-or not- as you choose.

The smegma in your oil fill is from condensation or coolant in the oil.
Even healthy engines will have this sometimes.

Well the car was over heating before and the guy put a replacement radiator in so that might be it. I'm hoping its condensation in the engine. When i did the oil change it wasn't milkshaky at all and the radiator hasnt had coolant any time after the oil change soooo...
