JDOwen2 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I just replaced the radiator on my SC300. I was losing about a quart a week and noticed that the insulator between the radiator and core support was soaked with coolant. In the process of changing out the radiator hoses I noticed that the lower hose looked like it was leaking near the block. I'm guessing the radiator was not the original problem. After driving for a few days my wife says she can smell something like it's overheating but the temp gauge never moves. I took a peek under the hood and I can see where coolant was expelled on top of the cover between radiator and A/C condensor. I'm going to try and find a radiator cap (new Lexus dealer by me doesn't stock a lot of parts) and hope that clears up the problem. I should have looked closer at the problem in the first place. Anyone else have other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDOwen2 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Changed thermostat and cap, all's well. Now my Vette has a coolant leak. It never ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
