'95 MX3 GS Radiator Fluid Leak
Posted: March 21st, 2013, 4:35 pm
My apologies if this is the wrong section, I'm new to this site.
I just bought a 1995 MX3 GS (1.8L V6) and among a couple problems is leaking radiator fluid from the left front end by the rad and hoses. I've taken a few high school automotive courses but am far from a pro haha. Just wondering if anyone knows a thing or two and could give me a hand. I'm wondering if it's the hoses or the radiator itself. The fluid reservoir is on the far right side so I doubt that's my problem. If someone has a few tips so I can narrow down my problem it would be much appreciated I'm pretty sure it's radiator fluid but then again I could be wrong, I'm going off mainly what the previous owner said. I'm on a tight budget but I'm thinking of replacing the radiator with a new one, and have no clue what I'm looking for to fit perfectly and be the right type etc. Simply put... I'M CLUELESS LOL! Help?
Update: just took a further look with my buddy, looks like the top passenger corner of the radiator is the problem. Should I replace just the rad or the upper and lower hoses as well? And what kind should I be looking at...? Aha a quick good search confused me, so many choices! What is good and cheap?
