Hello,
last summer after a very slow hot drive on the M25 my radiator over boiled as I arrived at my destination. On further investigation I found the fuse housing had melted on my kenlow fan, and it was no longer working. following morning I topped up the radiator and i noticed steam escaping the radiator core once warm, and the fan did not respond despite new fuse, and housing. I decided to flush the system with a rad weld cleaner before using rad weld to try and resolve the leak a couple of months later and refit my old mechanical fan. The car has been stranded at my parents, so I'm tinkering with it once ever 3 months at the moment. Anyhow, I ran the car yesterday, and after 10 minutes or so, just before I was about to switch it off to drain the cleaner, I noticed coolant escaping from the weephole under the water pump. i'm certain the car was not over heating at this point, anyway I switched it off immediately. I didn't see any steam from the core this time. And it wasn't steam, but water from the weep hole.
What do people suggest I do next?
Dave.
