hey <P>I had a similar problem. I put up with it for a while but it got considerably worse, to the stage that I could see water running out of my radiator as I poured it in the top. Turned our that the leak was where the main hose fed into the radiator. The connection actually completely broke when I pressure checked the system. It was repaired by having a new side welded onto the radiator. I havnt heard of this happening to anyone else but this was my experience<P>J.

check your oil and make sure you water isnt going into the oil and also check the exhaust if you have water in either your have a bad head or headgasket, if not check the radiator for holes cracks even it may be partly blocked inside <P>------------------<BR>92 MX-3 GS<BR>brillant biege<BR> spawn_46375@yahoo.com
