Ok, last night I was coming back from my friends house, which is about 10min away. When i pulled into my driveway, i got out of my car and i heard boiling, sizziling and steam. I popped the hood and steam just started to pour out everywhere, radiator fluid was pouring out on the ground. It was nightime, so i couldn't tell where it was coming from, but it looked to be coming from the radiator. No hoses look to be busted. I also noticed that when i was driving the temp wouldn't go down past 180* while driving, it just stayed around there. Usually when I'm driving, it will go down around 155* Please help, what happened here?? Thanx in advance. Teele.

Now that it's probably cooled off, check your hoses again. Double check for swelling on the hose and move the hoses around some to look for cracks and leaks easier.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>

Well, i found out the problem. There was a hole in the top of the radiator where it looked like battery acid dripped onto the radiator and the battery slid into the radiator causing the hole. So i put on some JB weld and I am going to put on another coat tomorrow and test it out and make sure it doesn't leak.

I have always had good results with JB weld. We use it on race cars and I recall multiple situiations where we used it on radiators.

JB Weld is alright but it isn't good in high temp situations. It will just burn right off. I used it to seal around the base of where the radiator cap is on my other car and it didn't hold for ****.<hr></blockquote>
I’ll have to disagree with that one. I’ve used JB on radiators many times, and it holds great. Use the “JB Stick” it is much easier to work with a form into poison. Just make sure you prep the area correctly otherwise you are wasting your time.<b>LS1 RX7! </b> || <a href=\"http://www.no-bling.com/image_galleries/index.php?action=viewgallery&gallery=galleries/eyeoutthere_LS1_FC\" target=\"_blank\">Full Gallery</a> <br /><br />LT1 Header Informtion/survey
